THE BOTTOM LINE: Gold Beach Lumber price motion this week:  Trending Up for the Summer Season


Lumber Prices Market Report
 

OSB Lumber Prices:  OSB activity continued to steady last week. Mills have curtailed a fair amount of production and availability is pushing into late July. If you need OSB between now and Labor Day, then we suggest you buy it. We suggest an eight week inventory.


Western Plywood Lumber Prices:  Western plywood mills sold better as they became more attractive following the rush on Pine panels. Demand was slack locally. Mills who extended order files three weeks, pushed numbers $5-10. Speculative activity picked up a little and the general tone was more optimistic than any time this year. Order files are two to three weeks, with underlayment and thicker panels the furthest out. Recommend dealers maintain medium inventory.


Western SPF Lumber Prices:  Sales of western spruce lumber were flat last week and mills held their prices firm. Some lumber items are very tight, but 2x4#2 is not and is feeling some price pressure. Secondaries with 2x4 purchased below mill replacement cost, possibly having a basis cushion, are offering at lower levels - creating our two tiered market. Expect prices to remain level this week.


Treated Lumber Prices:  Pricing of treated dimension continues to firm. Decking was flat and timbers were flat to up a little. Business was steady with suppliers as the deck season is in full swing. Look for more of the same in upcoming weeks


Coastal Dimension Lumber Prices  
Green Dimension:  No Report.

Dry Dimension:   Western US dry dimension mills had a good week. Prices advanced on all items as demand continued to out strip supply. Buyers found sourcing even routine inquiries difficult, as production cutbacks limited offerings. Look for supply to remain a concern as production cutbacks are in full effect.


WEEKLY LUMBER & PANEL NOTES: What a difference a week can make. Plywood and OSB supply reductions are pushing order files out and prices higher. Several mills are quoting defensively, or have temporarily pulled off the market. Expect this scenario to continue with mills slowly moving prices higher.

On the lumber side, mills are leaning on order files to keep prices firm to higher, depending on species and dimension. Expect this trend to continue as we approach summer shutdowns.

Transportation / Retail Diesel Fuel:    Trucking service remains prompt. Lead times for trucks averaged just over one day last week in most areas. Service on shipments originating in the South, however, continues to be slower -most orders are requiring 2-3 days to be shipped.

Diesel fuel prices continue to trend higher; the average retail price was $2.626 per gallon last week. Declining freight volumes have carriers scrambling to keep fleets loaded; and the sustained energy price increases will force carriers to exit the business, likely extending lead times and pressuring freight rates higher. We forecast lead times for trucks will average 1.5 days for most parts of the country during the next 30 days.
