Focus today

Procurement and commodity analysis for Nordic businesses: timber and wood sourcing, trade-policy impact on buying, and gold-adjusted market measures (GAVF).

What this site is for

Articles here are meant to help buyers and operators read markets and policy through a sourcing lens: softwood and timber, EUDR and trade measures, Nordic macro releases that affect demand, and gold-denominated valuation (GAVF) for long-horizon decisions.

How we work on sources

Where a piece cites data, we aim to name the primary source (SCB, Riksbank, ECB, OPEC/IEA, company filings, etc.) and the date of the release.
