Hey JBravo, got a question? Do you think this phenomenon has anything to do with the fact that "temporary" scrappers are very active in the summer, but not so active in the winter months. I call them temporary because a lot of people that try this business, scrapping or metal recycling, find out the work is not necessarily that easy and don't last past the "comfortable" summer months. Just a thought I had when I was doing some research...if you look at the graph you show, this would follow every year in the months of June, July, and August (no matter where the average prices are for the market (globally). So, my premise is when supply is larger (summer). demand goes down and along with price. Just a thought.
