Exchange is the board. Yard cash is what the scale is paying, national average. Not a local bid.
Metals recycling
The board looked split today. Copper is $6.77/lb (1d +0.9%, 30d +6.8%), so every bucket of #2 feels like it matters again. Aluminum at $3,365/mt (1d -1.6%, 30d -5.0%) has guys second-guessing clean sheet vs mixed. HRC steel is $1,190/st (1d -0.5%, 30d +2.9%), steady enough that the heavy stuff keeps moving. The weird part is the preciouss, gold at $4,687/oz (30d +15.0%) has the e-scrap crowd talking.
