ASA Chief Economist Dr. Chris Kuehl is back with his weekly “Keeping it Real with Dr. Kuehl” economic update podcast. In Episode 31, Dr. Kuehl talks about the current situation with lumber prices and when prices are expected to ease.

• Why did lumber prices skyrocket in the first place?
• Why consumers are partly to blame for this?
• Are the saw mills returning to normal or are they still stressed?
• Where do things stand with Canadian tariffs?
• Where does inflation factor into all of this?
• Prediction on when the prices will come down?
