Brazilian Plywood and Veneer

During March, plywood prices continued to improve. Pine plywood prices are experiencing a boom as a result of strong demand in the US. New residential construction in the US is being stimulated by low interest rates, robust income growth, and the build up of demand stemming from weak performance of the sector in 2000-2002. Brazilian Pine plywood prices for the European markets have been strongly influenced by American prices.
