Canada’s Wildfires Caused Timber Futures To Surge More Than 7% On Wednesday
According to media reports, British Columbia, Canada, entered a state of emergency at midnight local time on the 20th due to raging wildfires. As the province is the largest timber export province in the United States, the market is worried that the wildfire may have an impact on timber supply. Timber futures, which have been “declining” recently, soared by more than 7% on Wednesday to US$584.50, a record of 2020. The biggest one-day increase since April in late June, due to the impact of the fire, the two main railways in British Columbia were temporarily interrupted. The two railways lead to the Port of Vancouver and are mainly responsible for transporting export goods. Although the railway has returned to normal at present, the railway operation is very slow, which may affect the American timber supply side. Canadian forestry company Canfor said that due to the extreme wildfires in western Canada affecting the supply chain, the company will reduce the capacity of Canadian sawmills starting Monday.
