About the metal

What is Copper?

Copper is a base metal prized for its electrical conductivity, ductility, and corrosion resistance. It is the third most consumed industrial metal after iron and aluminium, and its price is widely treated as a leading indicator of global growth — hence the nickname "Dr. Copper." Quotes come from the London Metal Exchange and COMEX.
