Metals Market Pricing
Geesh, is copper/zinc/aluminum getting slammed. I just received notice of new metals increases, I thought I'd share the jist of it here (cash buy/spot, based on the LME per metric ton (2200 lbs))-

3/29/04 1/25/05 4/28/06

Aluminum $1663 1835 2770
Aluminum Alloy 1560 1642 2580
Copper 3098 3146 7399
Nickel 13930 14990 20150
Zinc 1087 1210 3439

Wow, this is really going to ripple through consumer prices....

3. This is why
there is suddenly so much more theft of metals. I get theft alerts in email from ISRI every week, sometimes a few per week.

4. Every one of them has seen a big jump this year
meaning that metals prices are all tracking the true inflation rate. Aluminum alloy has gone up 50% in a little over a year, and it's inflation is modest compared to the rest.

The increase in gas prices is nothing, I'm afraid, compared to what's on the way.

We're about to live in interesting times.
