Volatile lumber prices have been causing uncertainty for construction businesses. In April 2025, the price of softwood lumber was 23% higher than the previous year. Lumber futures in the first quarter of 2025 have also surged on fears of higher duties as well as sawmill closures across North America. That has impacted some of the U.S. biggest homebuilders like Lennar, D.R. Horton and Toll Brothers all, which suffered declines in their stocks during the spring. But while lumber escaped the latest round of tariffs they are on the radar of the Trump administration. Canada accounts for about 85% of all U.S. softwood lumber imports and represents almost a quarter of U.S. supply.

波動的木材價格讓建筑行業(yè)充滿不確定性。2025年4月,軟木木材的價格比去年上漲了23%。2025年第一季度,木材期貨也因為擔(dān)心更高的關(guān)稅以及北美各地的鋸木廠關(guān)閉而暴漲。這對美國一些最大的住宅建筑商,如Lennar、D.R. Horton和Toll Brothers,產(chǎn)生了影響,它們的股票在春季期間出現(xiàn)下跌。盡管木材沒有逃過最新一輪的關(guān)稅,但它依然是特朗普政府關(guān)注的對象。加拿大大約占美國軟木木材進口的85%,幾乎占美國供應(yīng)的四分之一。
