#1 Copper market context — North Carolina
Yards in North Carolina that buy #1 Copper draw from the local mix of biotechnology, banking, furniture, and textile-derived industries. 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. Most of the state's posted-rate activity for #1 Copper clusters in and around Charlotte. 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 ahead to confirm the rate and that the yard is buying the grade you have is always worth the minute it takes.
