What goes into a Random Lengths lumber price assessment? Mary Hansen of Fastmarkets Random Lengths joins The Lumber Word for a behind-the-scenes look at some of the methodology behind lumber market reporting. Mary explains the difference between a reporter and an economist, how market information is gathered through multiple channels, why confirmed transactions carry weight, and how volume, timing and market context factor into an assessment. We also dig into some of the Random Lengths data and tools subscribers may not realize they're already getting — including European 2x4's; spruce pricing, Southern Pine Prime adders, historical data, dashboard pricing and alerts — plus what Mary is currently hearing across the lumber market. Same industry. Deeper conversations. TIMELINE 00:00 — Meet Mary Hansen of Fastmarkets Random Lengths Mary's path from journalism to mortgages and eventually commodity reporting. 05:28 — What does a Random Lengths reporter actually do? Mary explains her markets, reporting days and the process of gathering market information. 07:25 — Reporter vs. economist Why reporting and assessing today's market is very different from forecasting where prices are going. 09:08 — How the Random Lengths methodology works Confirmed transactions, volume, recency, discounts, one-off trades and the hierarchy of market information. 13:05 — Turning all that information into assessments How Mary organizes the data, works through individual items and coordinates with other reporters. 16:04 — Inside a major Random Lengths reporting day What happens behind the scenes as the team works toward publication. 29:30 — What Random Lengths subscribers may be missing Ashley starts digging into information that's already available but may be overlooked. 29:52 — European 2x4 16' spruce pricing Where to find the European spruce assessment and why it matters to North American traders. 32:17 — Southern Pine Prime adders & new assessments Mary points out another piece of market data hiding in plain sight. 35:45 — Using the Fastmarkets dashboard Historical prices, exports, charts and ways subscribers can use the online data. 36:45 — Prices can hit the dashboard before the PDF A useful discovery for anyone waiting for the traditional Random Lengths publication. 40:05 — What else comes with Random Lengths?

AI, data centers and lumber? They're more connected than you might think. Dustin Jalbert, Economist and Director of Wood Products & Timber at Fastmarkets, joins The Lumber Word to break down a North American lumber market where supply, imports, species and demand are all shifting at the same time. The conversation digs into falling Canadian and European imports, changing U.S. lumber availability, Southern Pine and western-species substitution, sawmill residuals and what the headline lumber numbers may be missing. Then Dustin takes us into one of the biggest economic stories affecting housing: the enormous investment flowing into AI and data centers. He explains how that boom can compete with residential construction for capital, labor and resources, influence inflation and interest rates, and ultimately affect housing and lumber demand. The episode closes with the indicators Dustin believes lumber participants should be watching — and a moving tribute from Matt to longtime lumberman Dick Opperman. Same industry. Deeper conversations. TIMELINE 00:00 — Where is the lumber market right now? The crew opens with inventories, falling prices, freight costs and slowing seasonal demand. 05:03 — AI and lumber? A preview of what's coming Dustin explains why seemingly unrelated parts of the economy eventually intersect with lumber. ~08:00 — Canadian duties and the supply question What changing Canadian lumber duties could mean for production, curtailments and SPF returning to the U.S. market. 13:17 — Lumber imports are falling The Fastmarkets data on Canadian and offshore imports and why apparent supply doesn't necessarily equal actual consumption. 15:23 — Canada and Europe disappear from the supply picture Dustin breaks down where billions of board feet have shifted and why the numbers need context. 18:06 — Who benefits from fewer imports? U.S. producers, Doug Fir, Southern Pine and the changing competitive landscape. 19:11 — Is species substitution coming back? Matt discusses SPF, Hem-Fir, Doug Fir and how modern purchasing systems changed the industry's willingness to substitute species. 21:25 — Southern Yellow Pine's changing position Why the SYP market can tell a very different story from the lumber futures screen. 25:05 — Sawmill residuals: why chips and sawdust matter Dustin explains the economics of residuals and why they're an important part of keeping a sawmill profitable. 34:08 — MAIN EVENT: AI, data centers and housing The conversation turns to the enormous capital flowing into AI infrastructure. 35:34 — Why lumber people need to pay attention to AI Dustin explains how AI investment is contributing to broader economic growth and why that matters to lumber. ~37:00 — Data centers competing with housing Capital, labor and other resources get pulled toward massive data-center projects. 38:42 — Can AI help keep interest rates higher? Dustin connects growth, inflation, Treasury yields, fiscal deficits and the AI investment boom. 40:12 — The AI wealth effect How stock-market gains may be supporting higher-income consumers and helping create a floor under housing demand. 42:00 — Housing affordability & cash buyers Mortgage rates, demographics and why some buyers can still participate despite historically difficult affordability. 44:02 — Work from home changed housing demand Dustin discusses mobility and how remote work has permanently altered where some people can live. 46:03 — What happens next for lumber? Matt summarizes the pressures hitting the industry and the potential for volatility. 47:04 — Remembering Dick Opperman Matt gives a heartfelt tribute to a longtime lumberman, friend and mentor — and a reminder to thank the people who helped you along the way. 49:37 — What lumber people should be watching Dustin discusses closures, operating rates, downstream indicators and other data beyond daily lumber prices. 51:00 — New Fastmarkets indicators & market sentiment A look at new tools designed to better understand where market participants think conditions may be heading. 52:03 — Closing thoughts with Dustin Advertiser Fastmarkets RISI Tiranth Amarasinghe Product Marketing Manager Tiranth.Amarasinghe@fastmarkets.com www.fastmarkets.com Guest: Dustin Jalbert Economist/ Director, Wood Products and Timber Fastmarkets dustin.jalbert@fastmarkets.com Show Contacts: Gregg Riley: Gregg@sitkainc.com Charles DeLaTorre: cdelatorre@ifpwood.com Matt Beymer: mattbeymer@hamptonlumber.com Ashley Boeckholt: ashley@sitkainc.com

Darci Shannon walked into her first hardwood convention determined to spend as little as possible. She had talked her boss into joining the association, negotiated the booth cost down, and told them she would bring her own trash can rather than pay for one. Fifteen minutes onto the show floor, the small saw shop she worked for closed the biggest sale in its history. In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Darci Shannon, membership services advisor for the National Hardwood Lumber Association, to talk about what an association actually does for a hardwood lumber business and why the smallest members get most of her attention. Darci trained as a teacher, walked away from teaching and coaching during COVID, and took a job running the office and the sales desk at a small saw shop in rural Missouri, handling band and circle blades for mills. She pushed her employer to join the NHLA before she fully understood what it was. A few years later the association wanted her, had no open role, and made one. You'll hear how membership actually breaks down, from the mills and cabinet makers through to the sustaining members who serve the industry rather than produce hardwood lumber. Saw blades, lubricants, even the trash bags every sawmill goes through. Without those services, as Darci puts it, nobody produces anything. She describes the part of the job she cares about most, which is being the person someone calls when they do not know who to call. One member, a small distributor hunting for walnut who had never been to a convention, got pointed toward a source in Missouri and is still buying from them. She also covers the saw filing classes she set up, the scholarships attached to them, and the thermally modified wood session drawing the most interest at this year's show in Cleveland. The conversation gets honest about the mood in hardwood lumber right now. Darci names the doomsday mentality as her biggest obstacle and lays out what the association is doing about it: new publications aimed at architects and designers, a push to get wood specified before the job goes to an alternative product that costs less and gets replaced sooner, and the federal advocacy work she has joined in Washington the last few years. Jennifer, who was born into a forestry family and works in urban salvaged and reclaimed wood, makes the case for wood as a future antique, the one material you can keep reusing while the carbon stays locked inside it. Darci can be reached at d.shannon@nhla.com, and the association is at nhla.com.

Is the lumber market finally trying to put in a bottom—or is this just another bounce before seasonal weakness takes over? This week on The Lumber Word, Ashley, Gregg, and Charles break down the latest action across SPF, Southern Yellow Pine, Hem-Fir, studs, and CME lumber futures. The guys discuss the growing disconnect between September futures and the cash market, the possibility of taking delivery against September, and why some buyers may want to start covering needs rather than waiting for the perfect bottom. Charles takes a deep dive into Southern Yellow Pine, where sharp price swings, tighter production control, freight volatility, and execution risk are making the market increasingly difficult to trade. The conversation also turns to Southern timberland, falling pulpwood demand, mill closures, and what cheap Southern fiber could mean for lumber production longer term. Then Ashley raises a bigger question: Who is really the smart money in lumber today—the industry or the funds? The guys examine how large systematic and trend-following funds can stay with positions far longer than physical traders expect, ignore traditional ideas like cost of production, and potentially push lumber much farther in either direction than the industry thinks makes sense. The episode wraps with signs of bottoming in futures, narrow Southern Pine, SPF dimension and studs, the possibility of a trading bounce into September expiration, and where November futures could run into resistance.

The lumber market is getting interesting again—and the signals aren't exactly lining up. Ashley, Gregg, and Matt break down a market where demand remains “punky,” western species flailing, studs are showing slight signs of life after deep counters, and lumber futures are trading at a steep discount to cash. The big question: Is November lumber really headed toward $500—or is the futures market getting too bearish? Gregg lays out the technical case for why $500 is at least possible, while Matt sees real value developing at current levels and argues that some of the best buying opportunities may be showing up right now. Meanwhile, Ashley asks the question every trader should be asking: Where is the edge?

Impact Of The Trade War

There has been a lot of discussion over the past few days about tariffs and the trade relationship between Canada and the United States. The events of Friday where Canada withdrew from the negotiations put the impasse in stark terms. Most of that discussion has focused on manufacturing, autos, steel, aluminum, and politics.The trade war is clearly escalating. Tariffs are just the start. What happens if the nations take the even more drastic step of withholding exports to each other? Major parts of the US are dependent on Canada for critical resources. We don't know where this will end. But underneath all of that is a much more practical question for real estate investors.What happens when a trade dispute starts changing the cost of building?Canada is an important supplier of construction materials into the United States. Lumber is probably the most obvious example, but it goes well beyond lumber. Steel, aluminum, cement, plywood, and a number of manufactured products cross the border every day. The trade dispute also puts the agreement with Mexico in uncertain territory.Higher construction costs are obviously not helpful if you're trying to build something today.But they can have a very different effect if you already own the finished product.If a new apartment building becomes more expensive to construct, some projects that were marginal simply don't get built.If fewer projects start this year, there may be fewer units delivered two or three years from now.That can reduce future competition for existing properties.So the same tariff can be negative for one real estate investor and potentially positive for another.The developer is dealing with higher replacement cost.The existing owner may eventually benefit from that same higher replacement cost.------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

EP 178: Is It Time to Buy? | Sig Thoma on Housing, OSB, Futures & the Next Market Move

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 14, 2026 49:41

The lumber market just dropped roughly $100 in three weeks - but is the selloff creating the next big buying opportunity? In Episode #178 of The Lumber Word, industry veteran Sig Thoma joins Ashley, Gregg, and Matt for a wide-ranging conversation about what's really happening beneath the surface of the lumber market. Inventories are getting lean, cash prices are falling well below published levels, and CME lumber futures are carrying a major discount. Sig brings a broader perspective to the conversation, including a fascinating look at a massive lumber buyer whose sheds were nearly empty - a sign that the industry may be running much leaner than many realize. The crew dives into Southern Yellow Pine, Canadian SPF, Western species, OSB, European lumber, housing and mill profitability. Sig explains why the OSB market has effectively become two different markets, with dramatically different pricing between the U.S. South and West. Then the conversation gets deeper. Why aren't more sawmills using CME lumber futures to lock in profitable sales? Could increased futures participation improve price discovery across the entire lumber industry? And could a transparent U.S.-based futures market eventually become part of the argument surrounding Canadian anti-dumping duties and how lumber's true market price is established? Sig also breaks down the housing problem: mortgage applications have fallen sharply from their June highs, new-home sales remain well below historical peaks, and affordability continues to constrain demand. The episode finishes with a fascinating discussion about pulp capacity and something most lumber buyers rarely think about: sawmill byproducts. Chips, sawdust, shavings and residual values can materially change sawmill economics - and losing pulp outlets could ultimately influence lumber production itself. Is this simply an August lumber correction - or is the market setting up for its next major trade? Timeline 00:00 - Lumber drops roughly $100 & the CME discount 06:00 - Cash lumber, mill pricing & where buyers are hiding 10:40 - Sig's incredible look at extremely lean inventories 14:25 - Southern Yellow Pine economics & Canadian SPF losses 15:00 - Sig breaks down the strange OSB market 17:20 - European lumber arrivals & Eastern SPF 20:00 - Western species vs. CME futures 21:00 - Why aren't more sawmills using lumber futures? 25:00 - Forward pricing opportunities & multifamily 27:00 - Where could the lumber market finally bottom? 29:20 - What happens if you actually take CME delivery? 31:00 - Sig on futures culture & changing the lumber industry 32:20 - Housing, mortgage applications & affordability 35:50 - Southern sawmills, pulp capacity & mill economics 39:45 - Canadian lumber duties delayed 41:00 - Could CME pricing challenge the anti-dumping argument? 44:00 - Manufacturing, tariffs & deglobalization 46:30 - A wild real-world CME delivery story 48:15 - Sig closes with a classic story & market warning Keywords Lumber Market, Lumber Prices, Sig Thoma, CME Lumber Futures, Lumber Futures, SPF Lumber, Canadian Lumber, Southern Yellow Pine, OSB Prices, Housing Market, Mortgage Rates, Sawmills, Lumber Duties, Anti-Dumping Duties, Softwood Lumber, Lumber Trading, Building Materials, Wood Products, Lumber Industry, The Lumber Word Podcast

The person who knows the most about this 87 year old lumber company has been there forty three years, and almost none of it is written down anywhere. In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Wes Carroll of Rice Lumber in Vermont. Wes got a cell phone and a job in the yard the year he turned fourteen, then left the state for college in Colorado with no intention of coming back east. He spent a year and a half cold calling for an office supply company, two years selling software into contractors, and came home in June 2020 after a layoff. He started behind the counter learning products and applications, and now leads the sales teams at a lumber business his family has owned for roughly half of its history. The heart of the conversation is what happens when a lumber business runs on people instead of paper. Wes names the three things he is most worried about losing: the load builders who stack a delivery in the order the framer will need it, so the pressure treated sill comes off the truck first, the buyer who has read the lumber and plywood markets for thirty five years and knows when to accumulate and when to liquidate, and the product knowledge that lets a salesperson talk about how a structure actually goes together. His approach so far is listening, documenting and repetition, and he is honest that it is still an experiment. You'll also hear how the boom years turned the lumber business purely transactional and why he thinks the slowdown was healthy, what selling strictly on price taught him not to do, why a small mill loses the account over follow through rather than price, and how Rice Lumber grew from a structural and engineered wood yard into a building center with a hardware store, a showroom and a kitchen design department. Wes closes on the belief that sent him to college in the first place, that the trades are where you land when you have run out of options, and why the replacement rate in construction makes that idea an expensive one for the whole industry to hold.

In Episode 194 of the Stock Market Options Trading Podcast, we take a data-driven look at the S&P 500, SPX options, gamma levels, opening range breakouts, and a mechanical 0DTE Iron Condor strategy.We start with lumber prices after an 11-day losing streak and discuss what falling lumber prices may—or may not—be signaling about housing and the broader economy.Then we turn to SPX and an important question for options traders: Do gamma levels lead the market, or does price lead gamma? We look at call walls, put walls, the gamma flip, and why I view gamma levels as useful context rather than a standalone prediction of where the S&P 500 is headed.We also review some interesting SPX 0DTE Opening Range Breakout (ORB) data. Tuesday's 30-minute opening range has recently shown strong historical results following both upside and downside breakouts, creating some interesting possibilities for credit spreads and other intraday options strategies.Finally, I share a mechanical 0DTE SPX Iron Condor strategy we've been trading and tracking at Alpha Crunching, including how the setup works and where you can review the backtest and strategy details.

A fourth generation CPA walked away from a large accounting firm to take over a 104 year old Texas lumber distributor, and the first thing he protected was not the balance sheet. In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Michael Friedrichsen, general manager of Roddis Lumber in San Antonio. Michael grew up around the family business, spent one college summer running a forklift in the warehouse, then went off for a master's in accounting and a CPA license. When his dad retired in December 2023, he stepped in alongside his cousin, the company president, right as the post COVID lumber market started cooling off. You'll hear how a single branch, thirty person company keeps a family atmosphere while running a fleet, a hardwood distribution operation, and a separate door shop that pre-hangs doors and trim packages for custom home builders. Michael talks about why so many employees are still there thirteen years after he worked beside them, and what his finance background actually gave him when bids slowed and lead times got unpredictable. Jennifer and Michael also get into the sourcing side: why his hardwood comes from out of state mills chosen for color and consistency, how paint grade, white oak, and walnut are moving in the Texas market, why import plywood dominates cabinet carcasses, and the rule that drives his inventory decisions, which is that if you don't have it, you hand the customer a reason to walk down the street. The conversation closes on urban and reclaimed lumber, LEED specification, and whether a distributor his size could add an urban wood line before the rest of the industry catches up.

Chris Bingaman, Bingaman & Son Lumber

In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Chris Bingaman, CEO of Bingaman & Son Lumber. The company traces back to Chris's grandfather, who logged with horses, hauled timber by truck to local sawmills, and eventually started finding new markets when the coal mine prop business dried up. Chris's father joined in, they incorporated in 1968, and today the operation spans five locations with three sawmills, though 80 percent of their lumber still comes from outside mills. It is a processing and distribution business at its core, built on relationships. Chris has been part of it since he was five years old, riding along in the truck while his dad spent six or seven hours hand-grading and hand-loading lumber at sawmills that did not even own a forklift. Every summer growing up, he worked in the company. He wanted to go to the swimming pool. His dad had other plans. That early training in work ethic and lumber grading set the foundation for everything that followed. The conversation digs into how the hardwood lumber industry has contracted and what Bingaman & Son Lumber has done to stay relevant. Chris talks about the 2008 recession as a turning point that forced the company to diversify its product offering, become nimble, and develop deep strategic partnerships with customers. More recently, they invested in a computerized grading system that processes 60 to 70 boards per minute, work that previously required three people. The system has been running about five months, and the results have been significant, though it came with more debt than they are comfortable carrying. Chris also opens up about succession planning. His father went through the painful experience of buying the company back from an estate after Chris's grandfather died suddenly, and that lesson drove decades of intentional estate planning. Chris has four daughters, and when none pursued the business full time, he transitioned the presidency to a long-tenured CFO who had been groomed for the role with the help of an advisory board. Meanwhile, an ESOP launched around 2006 now gives employees 35 percent ownership, with flexibility to go either direction in the future. The broader industry discussion covers tariffs, export markets (25 to 30 percent of volume), the growing threat of synthetic substitutes for wood, and a proposed tax incentive through the National Hardwood Lumber Association that would give homebuyers a deduction for using hardwoods. Chris also touches on mass timber research for low-grade species, biofuels as an outlet for junk wood, and the connection between healthy markets and healthy forests. His message is clear: without demand for wood, there is no economic reason to manage the resource, and unmanaged forests suffer.

In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Cathy Cohne, fifth generation at Melrose Lumber Co. in Austin, New York. The company was founded in 1922 by Cathy's great-great-grandfather, and when he passed away early, his wife, a Russian immigrant with no English, stepped in and kept the doors open during the Depression. That grit runs through the whole story. The family later operated Manhattan Lumber Company in the city before New York's Urban Renewal program purchased the location, and a fire in the 1960s forced a move from the Melrose section of the Bronx to where they are today. Cathy grew up in the business. If she wasn't in school, she was stocking shelves, helping customers, and making sure everything looked right. She went on to earn a business degree with a minor in marketing and later an MBA, always with the family business in the back of her mind. After COVID, she stepped fully into a leadership role alongside her dad, and the two manage the operation together with her mom handling the books. Melrose Lumber Co. is about 70 percent lumber and the rest hardware, essentially a miniature home center. They carry plywood, dimensional lumber, Douglas fir, pressure treated, cedar, PSLs, LVLs, and a full hardware selection. Cathy walks through the realities of sourcing from major suppliers, fielding quotes by phone and email, and competing with the big box stores on price while offering something they never will: real customer service and a personal touch. A big chunk of the conversation centers on marketing and staying current. Cathy launched an e-commerce website in October and has been working with a media company on SEO for about a decade. The data from those efforts is already shaping how she runs the physical store. When analytics showed that walking sticks were the number one search keyword, she stuffed the rack full and let foot traffic do the rest. She also talks about the early days of AI-generated quoting, her hesitation to give up control, and how ChatGPT started sending brand new customers through her door during an ice dam season. The conversation touches on COVID-era challenges, the shift from cedar everything to more economical Douglas fir as budgets tightened, fuel surcharges driving up order minimums, and the balancing act of inventory management when you refuse to run out but also refuse to overstock. Cathy's philosophy is simple: stay organized, stay efficient, and listen to what customers are actually asking for. Tune in, be inspired, and don't forget to follow the Woodpreneur Podcast.

In this episode, Molly Butz is joined by Justin Binning and Ken Timmins with American International Forest Products (AIFP) who provide a snapshot of the current lumber market. Six months of increases, growing forest fire concerns, mill-side constraints, and limited Canadian fiber continue to put pressure on supply. Meanwhile transportation remains challenging and a few products, including some MSR grades, are creating spot shortages. 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.

Then we looked at housing starts, which just posted their worst number since COVID, with multifamily construction down 40% in a single month—because between 6.4% mortgage rates, all-time high home prices, and tariffs jacking up the cost of every material that goes into a build, the math simply doesn’t work.
