  1. I worked for a lumber company in Grande Prairie in 1973 when there was a good market for studs at $150/mbf. Yesterday’s futures spot market was $247/mbf. That 1973 price equates to $831/mbf in 2015 dollars after accounting for CPI over that time. Even discounting for the low Loonie, the lumber prices are only C $299/mbf. I’ve been hearing about the phantom US recovery for years now.

  2. That looks like what is known as a “leading indicator.” Looks like we’re going headfirst into the crapper. Please elect a business friendly government in the U.S. Almost 2 years to go.

  3. How many wood related products to the hollywood and celeberty tree huggers use everyday besides Sheryle Crow and his toilet paper asfixiation?

  4. Uh oh, the #1 use for lumber is new houses and people only buy new houses when they have a secure full time job. Also the Baltic Dry Index has been pushed off a cliff. It’s going to be a miserable year.
    I think that Obama’s ‘summer of recovery’ will occur in 2017. Let’s hope the USA votes sanely next time.
