Tag:softwood lumber gypsum Ready-Mix Concrete Price Increase

According to the latest Producer Price Index (PPI) from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the prices of softwood lumber, gypsum, ready-mix concrete, and OSB increased for the third consecutive month. Eye on Housing staffer David Logan reports on the price increases led by gypsum, which saw a 5.1% April increase.

Exchange rates will gain attention should the dollar substantially falter. A weaker dollar would exacerbate the price effect of tariffs by making it Canadian lumber more expensive for U.S. buyers.
