Early publication of Random Lengths Cedar prices

The publication of Fastmarkets’ cedar lumber assessments for Tuesday December 23 was earlier than scheduled because of a time zone publication error.

The prices were published at 2:30pm Pacific Time instead of the scheduled time of 3:30pm PT.

The data submission window had already closed, and the data collection and price assessments were not affected by the early publication.

The affected prices include 95 Random Lengths green or kiln-dried western red cedar prices, all within the RL Cedar Lumber group.

These prices are part of the Fastmarkets Wood Products Physical Prices package.
