Lumber closed yesterday at $397.40, but showed deteriorating short term technical signals (i.e. broke below its 20 day moving average, short term momentum indicators turning down and strength relative to the S&P 500 Index turning negative). Accordingly, lumber and lumber stocks no longer are supported as a seasonal trade. That includes Norbord discussed on January 9th, Interfor discussed on January 10th and West Fraser Timber discussed on January 24th S&P 500 Momentum Barometer The Barometer slipped 0.20 to 92.00 yesterday. It remains intermediate overbought. TSX Momentum Barometer The Barometer added 2.94 to 90.34 yesterday. It remains intermediate overbought.
