Nearly all producer prices for wood products in Germany showed a significant price increase compared to the same month last year. One exception are finger-jointed sqares and beams, which are slightly in the red. However, compared to the November figures, prices for all products eased - except for energy wood products and MDF panels. Spruce and Fir lumber fell by 1.3 points, thus continuing the trend of recent months. KVH even lost 3.5 points, equivalent to a price decline of 2.6%.
