The NZ Copper price just went up 30 cents a 1Kg. (NZ$30cents = US$0.24cents.
From NZ$7.40 -> NZ$7.70
We get a good Ali price here, NZ$1.30 -> NZ$1.70/Kg.
I read in our newspaper that Tiwai point Auminum smelter has cut production of one potline.
Thats about 50 ton of Ali a day. Or 18,250 tons a year. 1/9th of its output(?)

Where about's are you Bear? I am in Kamloops, British Columbia. Canada... I can't believe all my prices are higher than yours... #2 is around 2.50, #1 is around 2.75, motors are same at .15, most alum is .50 but rims and clean alum wire is slightly higher, and brass is about 1.70 - 1.80 ( don't have a current receipt in front of me)Originally Posted by Bear

Western Scrap in Colorado Springs has Sunday morning hours 8-11:30, I love it, I hit it at the opening bell. Nobody comes till 9ish. I have often wondered if a 24-7 yard would do well in a large metro. market? Some large shred yards operate round the clock so why not buy? Pawn shops do it.

I took in some #1 Copper on Friday and the local yard was paying $2.75

Mike i really think that is all the smaller guys just hedging back to stay safe. I talk to the plant with the copper chopper etc and they laughed when i asked if prices dropped. Only thing i noticed was that #2 ins went down .25 and i have the feeling thats cause i left about 50 pounds of random steel and transformers on the cords.
New Guy
