How does this copper pricing chart work?

Like all wire and cable manufacturers, Kris-Tech monitors the real-time price of copper, measured by the price per pound. This chart helps show the current pricing as well as any changes in trends over time.

What impacts copper pricing?

Many factors influence copper price movements, both domestically and globally, including:

Supply and Demand

Global industrial demand (especially from construction, electronics, and renewable energy) and mine production levels directly impact prices.

Economic Health

Strong economic growth, especially in China and the United States, increases demand, driving prices up.

Inventory Levels

Metals stored in warehouses by exchanges like the London Metal Exchange (LME) and Commodity Exchange (COMEX) serve as indicators of supply tightness or surplus.

Currency Fluctuations

Copper, like oil, is traded in USD, so a weaker dollar generally pushes prices higher and vice versa.

Geopolitical Events

Strikes, mine shutdowns, and political instability in major producing countries (e.g., Chile, Peru) can restrict global market supply.

Energy Prices

Mining and smelting are energy intensive. Rising energy costs can increase production costs and, ultimately, copper prices.

Scrap Copper Levels

Copper prices can change depending on how much scrap is available, the types of copper recycled, global and regional recycling rates, and production costs.
