After the slow fourth quarter of last year, agents and importers say demand for US hardwood lumber assortments has recovered again at the beginning of 2012 as expected. At the same time, however, some importers only registered a brief upswing in January followed by a slower rate of enquiries again in February. For March, the general assumption is that receipts of orders are going to match or exceed the level of a year ago. After the trade had mainly added to its stocks on a smaller scale at the end of last year, enquiries are currently being received for major volumes again. Source: euwid-wood-products.com
