Demand for SPF softwood sawn timber was very high last week as well. As a result, prices rose by 10 to 15 US-$/1000 bft, according to North American media.

High demand and further sawmill closures in Western Canada again led to an increase in prices.

Prices for European goods in the east of the United States rose by 10 €/m³ week on week to 262 €/m³ free arrival in the Great-Lakes region. This increase was also currency-related: Last week, the US dollar gained in value.

The current price level is thus 10 €/m³ higher compared to last year.
