#2 Copper market context — Texas
The Texas market for #2 Copper is shaped by the state's economic mix of oil and gas, petrochemicals, technology hardware, and aerospace. Regionally, Southwest mills and Gulf-of-Mexico ports give yards a working corridor to the buyers of electrical wiring and plumbing. The largest pocket of yards taking #2 Copper sits in Houston. 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.
