Exchange is the board. Yard cash is what the scale is paying, national average. Not a local bid.
Metals recycling
Walking the yard this week, the mood is mixed, and the scale ticket shows it. Copper is $6.60/lb, up 0.1% today and 1.3% over 30 days, so clean stuff keeps its footing. Aluminum woke up a bit at $3,419/mt, up 1.3% today and 0.4% on the month, which helps when you are staring at a pile of wheels. HRC steel is $1,195/st, down 1.0% today and up 0.4% over 30 days, so shred talk gets quieter.
