We understand lumber futures. The North American softwood lumber market is a highly fragmented industry whose production and distribution channels are geographically diverse. Numerous softwood species including the spruce, fir & pine markets are in constant competition to gain market share from one another. Softwood lumber pricing volatility associated with each of these markets can dramatically alter a company's bottom line.

Currency exchange rates as well as banking interest rates also continuously influence a company's ability to achieve profitability. That's why Futures Technology Corp. feels it is imperative to understand the internal dynamics of each of these markets and how they relate to each other to come up with a cohesive yet flexible risk management program.
