#2 Copper market context — Utah

The Utah market for #2 Copper is shaped by the state's economic mix of technology, aerospace and defense, and mining. On a regional level, West Coast ports and the regional mill base feed downstream demand from construction and electrical work, though longer shipping legs to inland mills can show up in posted yard rates. Most of the state's posted-rate activity for #2 Copper clusters in and around Salt Lake City. Posted rates inside the state move with end-use demand for electrical wiring and plumbing, and yard-to-yard spreads reflect each yard's volume and where it ships its sorted material. Calling ahead to confirm the rate and that the yard is buying the grade you have is always worth the minute it takes.
