Prices for softwood lumber prices have fallen sharply
Prices for softwood lumber prices have fallen sharply in key markets around the world in early 2015 with the biggest declines seen in North America and Europe, reports the Wood Resource Quarterly
Lower demand and a strengthening US dollar have sent lumber prices plummeting in the 1Q/15 to their lowest levels in more than two years in North America and Europe, reports the Wood Resource Quarterly.
