Scrap Metal Prices: Don't Expect Much From Copper
We read an article this week about the power of copper and how the market may still be getting ready to go higher. This article discusses the massive electricity demand, with global electricity consumption potentially doubling by 2050.With the electric and solar push across the world, we may continue to see copper prices increase and demand increase over the next few years. While this is more of a big-picture view, this does give us an insight into where the copper markets could be headed, and we may be at or near the bottom of the market for the foreseeable future.Read more: https://iscrapapp.com/?p=1227235 Support the show

2022 Fourth Quarter & Where Scrap Prices Are Heading
📈 Check Scrap Prices: https://iScrapApp.com/ - Going into the fourth quarter, we'll see a lot of questions, primarily until the midterm elections are sorted out. On top of that, everyone continues to talk about recession, recession, recession, and that will lead to a massive decline in the confidence of the markets.

Will Scrap Prices Hold Until Elections?
We have seen little to no movement with the markets. Markets are all over the place, and overall going into the 4th quarter, we do not expect to get much of a market expectation until the post-election cycle in November. These markets will be wishy-washy for the rest of the year, and we think now is as good a time as ever to sell. We know many people are not sure about the markets, but we have to think about next year and the looming pullbacks overall in the markets. Read more: https://iscrapapp.com/?p=1227235 Support the show

Scrap Metal Prices: Is this the new "copper" standard?
Copper has stabilized with a lot of optimism, going into next year and the next 5 to 10 years based on not only clean energy but the massive demand for worldwide consumption. In the next few years, we could see a lot of copper being consumed for many industries, leading to strong optimism. Today we are seeing prices that might be at the bottom of the market, according to some economists that we’ve been listening to but after massive global growth last year, we have seen the copper prices level out over the last 90 days. 👉 Read more: https://iscrapapp.com/?p=1227235 Support the show
