Lumber Trading Is So Hot That It Almost Never Happens
Lumber futures are on another wild ride, but trading them has gotten pretty boring.
In 25 of this year’s 35 trading sessions, prices of the leading lumber futures contract have moved so sharply that they have ended the day stuck at limits designed to ensure an orderly market. Some mornings, trading has opened at the limit and remained there. On those days, trading in lumber futures basically ends before it begins.
