Copper separation shows stronger price level in May and June
The Copper Separation summary notes May and June copper prices firm at 19 cents delivered to nearby destinations, with 13.5 cents in the Mississippi Valley and western markets. Copper Export Association raises European prices to 18.5 to 19 cents fob Hamburg. Japan and Orient destinations quoted 12 to 13 cents. Foreign inquiry is decent, but buyers sell to market. The present level is the highest in five months, with prospects for a slow rise from this base if foreign and domestic demand improves.
