The copper mills slowed down for various reasons. If I remember right, one was taken out with those high winds a while back. Another changed ownership and just was not taking orders for some reason. I use copper in my business, its not $10 a pound, but I'm seeing processed and ready to ship small batch C110 prices close to $7 now.
Check out steel prices, its ugly. The freeze event in Texas put a hurt on fiberglass resin availability big time. To many monopolies, we rely on these huge companies too much. A couple have major issues and the prices skyrocket. The government has created the issue with all the regulations. Its takes lots of lawyers and politicians to build a big factory.
The lack of warehousing durable goods is frightening, lots of this stress on the supply system is self inflicted. Moving the various parts supply off shore was just plain stupid. I buy very little for my business from the US, the stuff isn't made here anymore. But its good to see our local lumber mills busy for a change.
