North American softwood lumber prices fall sharply

What goes up must come down,” as the saying goes. Particularly when talking about markets. After holding firm for four weeks while most other species’ prices fell, the price of benchmark construction framing dimension softwood lumber item Western Spruce-Pine-Fir KD 2×4 #2&Btr fell a not unexpected -$260, or -27%, to end last week at a still-high U.S. $700 mfbm (net FOB sawmill)...

Central/West Africa: Log and sawnwood prices in October

In the two weeks to the end of October Central and West African FOB prices remain largely unchanged with just one or two minor adjustments reflecting the slow demand in China. While demand from European buyers is, at best, moderate it is sufficient to provide a firm base for the current price levels [Mais... ]

Central/West Africa: Improving export volumes and prices in EU

African exporters find their European business has been improving in terms of both volume and price signaling a solid foundation to demand. For the past two or three years EU importers have very carefully managed stock levels of tropical timbers but as the economies in some EU member states improve there has been an increase in timber consumption for infrastructure projects, housing and renovation works which encouraged importers to expand stock levels [Mais... ]

Central/West Africa: EU markets underpinning price stability

Producers report that demand in European markets is firm and prices are stable and that this is assisting them in maintaining price levels in other markets. Demand for okoume logs and sawnwood for the Chinese market is slow and prices have not recovered. FOB prices for okan and sapele are also under pressure as demand slows but for most of the other timbers prices are stable. [Mais... ]

Central/West Africa: Demand from China dries-up

There were no price changes in the second half of August and Central and West African producers report that while overall demand is holding up, what little demand there was from buyers for the Chinese market has now dried–up. In China demand for okoume logs and sawnwood has collapsed and even demand for the „redwood‟ timbers is extremely slow. [Mais... ]

Central/West Africa: Market prospects hinge on Chinese economy

Prices for the majority of West African timbers have been maintained for some time now but there are some signs of weakness in log prices. Trade with Chinese importers is still at a low level and whilst there are now some reassuring moves by the Chinese government to bring stability to the economy the impact of the current fall in demand will take time to trickle down to the timber trade. Currently, Chinese traders are trying to reduce landed stocks of log and sawnwood before [Mais... ]

Central/West Africa: Log prices held up only by reduced availability

While West African markets for sawnwood have shown some life, the log market continues to be dull with no sign of any major resurgence in demand from China. What little business can be generated with China revolves around a few select species. There is still no interest from Chinese buyers for okoume logs [Mais... ]

Central/West Africa: Minor price changes but focus is on change in China

A few minor price movements were reported in the first week of July but most log and sawnwood prices remain unchanged because of only moderate demand in the main markets. Of major concern to West African exporters was the rapid collapse of stock values in China and the impact this could have on domestic consumption. A large volume of equities in China are in the hands of small investors many of whom have borrowed heavily to buy stocks. Coming on top of the recent weakening in property prices in China it is expected that this latest shock will undermine Chinese consumer confidence and that spending will decline [Mais... ]

Central/West Africa: Demand for high-end species lifts prices

In contrast to the rather unexceptional demand over the past month producers now report that market conditions have changed. On the one hand, stronger demand for highend species for which availability is limited has lifted prices, conversely there is a downward pressure on prices for other, mainly lower end species, driven by tough competition in the market [Mais... ]

Mills in West Africa lowering production to match slow demand

Log and sawnwood prices are unchanged in from those reported at the end of May as demand in western international markets is very slow.

Central/West Africa: Tight supply underpins log prices

In contrast to the slight fluctuations in sawnwood prices log prices have hardly been affected in the first months of the year. While demand is soft in the Chinese market producers say buyers are not pressuring for price reductions in the realisation that availability is an issue. Forest authorities through-out West and Central African countries have strengthened control of harvest levels and this, along with news of the tight log supply situation in SE Asia, is serving to support log prices. Middle East markets continue to be very price conscious [Mais... ]

Log and sawnwood prices in Central/West Africa

West African producers report that demand levels remain only moderate with buyers concentrating on the most popular species. Sapele is back in demand and this has encouraged a rise in production but millers are careful to balance production with demand so as not to over produce and risk weakening prices [Mais... ]

Central/West Africa: Sentiment improves as buyers slowly return

African producers report a slow but steady improvement in demand that has lifted sentiment and brought some stability back to the trade. With the exception of the continued weakness in prices for sapele and okoume, prices for other timbers which had eased in recent weeks are now holding firm such that it appears the downward trend in prices has come to a halt [Mais... ]

Africa: EU demand unlikely to expand in final quarter

Producers are satisfied with the current order book positions and consider these as about normal levels for this time of year. They are now more confident about log supplies and have indicated they could meet any increase in demand from EU buyers should they begin to restock. However, producers are not expecting any significant change in the flow of orders from Europe. The Ukraine conflict and sanctions on Russia are beginning to weaken the economies of some EU member states, particularly Germany and France, compounding the impact of the depressed construction sector in many EU member states...

Central/West Africa: Improved prices now well established

The upward movement in prices for the premium species continued into the first weeks of June and the new prices levels seem well established.

Central/West Africa: Producers anticipate firmer prices for ‘redwoods’

Recent price rises for the most frequently demanded timbers have been consolidated as demand is now as firmer, a term that has not been used by producers in the region for several years.

Central/West Africa: Very active demand in Middle East markets

Log and sawnwood prices remain unchanged after the minor adjustments reported earlier in the month. The good news is that log exports from Cameroon are improving strongly and higher volumes of sawnwood are also beginning to flow onto the market. Producers report that demand from Middle East buyers is firm and that the trade is very active. West and Central African producers appear confident of maintaining and even increasing their market share in the Middle East markets. Demand in Asian markets is unchanged and very firm at current prices... [Mais... ]

Central/West Africa: Supply issues driving up prices for some species

Several upward movements in FOB prices have been reported and while these changes are small they are more reflective of supply issues rather than any overall change in the market. Having said that, prices for sawn sapele have been firming strongly due to continued high demand and because log sare no longer flowing from the Central African Republic because of the severe escalation of the internal conflict [Mais... ]

Central/West Africa: Producers have difficulties to respond to even modest increases in demand

Some positive log and sawnwood price movements have been reported since the end of August as demand continues firm in most markets. Demand for logs has improved and the demand pull has given producers the opportunity to negotiate for better prices especially as log availability remains tight. The problem is that, because of problems in sourcing logs, producers are finding it tough to respond to the improved demand, especially as this is focused on only the more popular species...
