Why These Prices Skip and Slide

Markets groove to their own rhythm:

• Material quality matters—clean copper wire shines in value ?, while mixed or painted loads don’t.
• Demand vibes—construction, manufacturing, global trade shifts move prices like tectonic plates.
• Local quirks—yards vary in scale, overhead, and how they grade metals.
