Japan plywood prices sentiment driven
005. Market sentiment in Japan is reportedly different for various tropical plywood specifications. There is apparently active pursuit of low priced items which are in short supply, such as concrete formboard panel for coating as well as for structural panels. Demand has been such that there are few low priced items available at present. In contrast, prices for JAS concrete formboard 3x6 panels have been inching down because of a lack of demand, despite the recent inventory correction. The market prices are Yen 290-300 ($2.66-2.75) per sheet, delivered for thin 2.3 mm F 4star(second category) and Yen 430-440 ($3.94-4.03) for medium thick 3.7 mm F 4star(first category), both unchanged from May.
