#2 Copper market context — Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania market for #2 Copper is shaped by the state's economic mix of steel, healthcare, energy, and food processing. On a regional level, the dense Northeast corridor of mills, refiners, and ports keeps downstream demand close, which usually keeps yard pay tighter to the spot benchmark. The largest pocket of yards taking #2 Copper sits in Philadelphia. 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.
