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

Walked the yard this morning and it felt like two different markets. Copper is $6.53/lb, down 1.2% today but still up 3.6% over 30 days, so the bright stuff keeps the scales moving. Aluminum looks softer at $3,380/mt, down 1.4% today and down 4.3% on the month. Steel is the loud one, US HRC at $1,218/st, up 1.8% today and up 5.5% in 30 days.

Green is profit per part. COG is junkyard cost. Sale is typical sold value. 90d is sell-through on a 90-day cycle.
