Southern Comments

RED OAK

Outside the increases to green #2A&3A Red Oak, markets for this species remain quiet in the South. The drop-off in international purchasing is seen as a major driving factor for this, while domestic demand is still sluggish. “Kiln dried 4/4 Fas is bad,” one Southern contact said. “I still get #1C orders from Vietnam, so I’m hanging in there with those.” The listings for green 5/4 Fas&1f increase, while drops to the upper ends of the ranges for 4/4 Fas represent the only changes for kiln dried stock.

Appalachian Comments

RED OAK

Surveys indicate shipments of green Red Oak are decent to concentration yards and both residential and truck trailer flooring plants. Following reductions to certain items in prior weeks, green #3A&Btr prices are holding steady for now, with no changes required to any of the listings. The Chinese market is consuming less kiln dried Red Oak of late but still anchors demand because domestic business is too limited for sellers to have much leverage over foreign buyers. Difficulty shipping Red Oak to the Middle East has also resulted in larger volumes of thicker-stock Red Oak being offered to Asian markets at reduced prices. Observed transactions lower the listings and noted range figures for 4/4 #1C&Btr, 6/4 Fas, and 8/4 Fas. The high-side ranges for 6/4 #1C are reduced as well.
