Exchange is the board. Yard cash is what the scale is paying, national average. Not a local bid.
Metals recycling
Copper is doing that thing where it drags the whole yard mood with it, $6.85/lb today (up 3.9%) and still up 3.9% over 30 days. Aluminum is climbing too, $3,529/mt (up 2.6% today, up 3.2% on the month), so mixed loads feel a little less annoying. HRC steel is $1,252/st (up 2.1% today, up 4.8% in 30 days), which makes sheet and tin look slightly less sad on the ticket.
