Today’s Copper Price and COMEX Trends

The charts above track daily COMEX copper market activity. Copper is one of the most volatile commodities in our industry, and price moves on the exchange typically flow through to copper tube list prices and multipliers over time.

How the Copper Price Affects Copper Tube Pricing

When copper rises sharply, mills adjust list prices and multipliers on Type K, L and M tube, coils and DWV. Watching the market helps you time purchases and avoid getting caught with inventory bought at the top of a run-up.

Buy Smarter in a Volatile Copper Market

United Pipe & Steel helps wholesale distributors manage copper market swings. Instead of loading up on large orders, you can buy smaller quantities more often, mix copper with steel, PVC and conduit on the same order, and replenish with weekly delivery. For current pricing, see our list price sheets or contact your sales rep for your multiplier.
