FAQ
How do I trade lumber futures?
Lumber traders utilize lumber futures contracts as a means to potentially profit from price movements. Lumber prices can change at any point during the distribution chain, so a futures contract allows a company to lock in a price and hedge against their risk exposure.
What are lumber futures?
Lumber futures are financial derivatives contracts used to buy and sell a certain amount of timber. Two classes of lumber commodities are hardwood and softwood lumber.
