Exchange is the board. Yard cash is what the scale is paying, national average. Not a local bid.
Metals recycling
Funny week when the shiny metals are the loudest thing on the board. Copper is basically parked at $6.46/lb, down 0.3% today and up 2.6% over 30 days, so your #2 and bright are still a steady conversation at the scale. US HRC steel at $1,208/st is up 1.0% on the day and 4.7% in 30, enough to keep heavy melt honest. Gold is $4,515.30/oz, up 3.4% today and 12.6% in 30.
