I gave a answer that is very relevant for where the near futures prices may go.

It's no BIG secret on WHO runs this world.

Do a little research on WHO of the rich and powerful as well as famous are Freemasons. It might surprise you.
Thanks for the heads up CD. I had to scroll back to the previous page to understand. ACCR invited us to talk about silver & copper in his thread so it's all good. It's a really interesting subject for me cause i'm sitting on 600 lbs of #2 copper and 500 lbs of brass at the moment.

It seems as though copper prices have held pretty well this year. I think it's driven by the conflict in Ukraine. The Russian military expended much of it's existing ammunition supplies and was calling on their version of the war dept to re-supply them with new. The countries supporting Ukraine have been supplying them with a lot of ammo too. That's a big manufacturing demand for brass on the global market.



Longer term ? Wars don't last forever. It eventually gets resolved through diplomacy. Then you get all the scrap metal being picked up & recycled after hostilities come to an end. That reduces demand and increases supply of copper and it's derivatives. One would expect prices to drop.

The other reason copper & brass prices should drop is that these metals aren't used very much in plumbing anymore. Most everything is plastic now. There's PEX for water piping and schedule 40 for DWV. It's cheaper, faster to install, and doesn't affect drinking water quality the way copper and lead do. That's a big issue with the EPA and the clean drinking water act.

Copper isn't used nearly as much in electrical work anymore. Most of the heavy cables are aluminum. So many of the electrical motors and even generators are being would with aluminum now that they resolved a technical issue with the connections.

I can assure you ... there's absolutely nothing to the Freemason thing CD. So terribly sad ... a once great institution that served a fine and noble purpose rendered all but obsolete in this modern world of ours.
