Metal News
Copper
(update 12/27/23) Copper has been trending up recently. The market has just come off of a bit of a lull, but looking shiny heading into the new year! Prices are the highest they've been in over a year.
Aluminum
(update 12/27/23) the aluminum market has taken a bit of a step back. Weak demand has persisted since late summer. Hoping the new year helps aluminum catch a fresh bounce.
Steel
(update 12/27/23) steel has made a comeback after a weak summer/fall. Spotty demand brought on by auto industry strikes has yielded and demand is starting to pick up. Now is a good time to sell.
Stainless
(update 12/27/23) stainless is a bit soft, just now. Weak nickel demand has definitely dulled stainless' luster.
