#1 Copper market context — Mississippi

The Mississippi market for #1 Copper is shaped by the state's economic mix of automotive manufacturing, forestry, and shipbuilding. Regionally, Southeast steel and aluminum mills, plus Gulf and Atlantic ports, give yards short shipping legs to downstream buyers of electrical wiring and plumbing. Within the state, New Albany has the largest concentration of yards taking #1 Copper. End-use demand for electrical wiring and plumbing sets the floor; what each yard pays on top of that depends on its volume and shipping setup. Calling the yard before driving over is the simplest way to confirm the day's rate and that they want the grade you have on hand.
