#1 Copper market context — Louisiana

Yards in Louisiana that buy #1 Copper draw from the local mix of petrochemicals, oil and gas, ports and shipping, and seafood. On a regional level, Southeast steel and aluminum mills, plus Gulf and Atlantic ports, give yards short shipping legs to downstream buyers of electrical wiring and plumbing. The largest pocket of yards taking #1 Copper sits in Abbeville. Sellers usually find that posted rates respond to the same end-use demand for electrical wiring and plumbing that drives the national market, with yard-to-yard differences inside the state coming down to volume and downstream relationships. Calling ahead to confirm the rate and that the yard is buying the grade you have is always worth the minute it takes.
