Exchange is the board. Yard cash is what the scale is paying, national average. Not a local bid.

Saw the copper pile getting a little more attention this week, and I get it. Futures have copper at $6.64/lb, up 0.6% today and up 4.7% over the last 30 days. Steel is doing its slow climb too, US HRC at $1,202/st, up 0.5% today and up 4.0% on the month. Aluminum is the drag, $3,388/mt, down 0.5% today and down 4.3% over 30 days.
