March 8, 2024: Market Will Likely Continue Slow and Steady Climb

Justin Binning and Ken Timmins with American International Forest Products (AIFP) provide a snapshot of the current lumber market. Both guests outline the factors that are contributing to a slow and steady rise in lumber costs across species. While supply currently remains favorable, curtailments, weather, and transportation headwinds will likely continue to push an upward trend as the U.S. progresses from spring to summer. Justin has been with AIFP since 2010 with a focus in Southern Yellow Pine and Ken has been with AIFP since 2017, specializing in Fir species. Both specialize in high grade lumber for the component manufacturing industry.
