<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Lumber prices have risen nearly 30% this month. It is in line with a broader rally in global commodities as economies worldwide reopen.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">David Russell, Vice President of Market Intelligence at an online broker-dealer TradeStation, believes it is part of a larger commodity trend.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">According to Russell, commodity prices, including iron, oil, soybeans, and fertilizer, have mostly risen due to cold winter weather, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain disruptions. After briefly cooling in recent weeks, lumber futures rose for the sixth consecutive session on Wednesday. It reached $1,204.90 per thousand board feet, the highest level for the month.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It represents a 29 percent increase from February 1, when the critical building material traded at $934.90 per thousand board feet. Nonetheless, lumber is 30% lower than its all-time high of $1,711 set in May 2021.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Russell also attributed the recent increase in lumber to the US dollar’s decline on Wednesday. General commodity prices rise when the dollar falls in value, forming an inverse relationship.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Lumber prices have risen dramatically in the last year. This is partly due to a disruption in supply chains caused by the pandemic. For example, shipping issues at Resolute Forest Products, one of Canada’s leading producers, have put a strain on lumber supply.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">An increased emphasis on home building and home improvement as more Americans seek to adjust to the work-from-home trend adds to price pressures.</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Many of the same factors have caused lumber prices to rise in the last six months. Demand for forest and lumber products remains high, while supply remains limited.</span></p>
