    Dr. Aluminum?

    According to Citi's Q2 Commodity Update report, aluminum is more vulnerable to the economy than copper is.

    How is AL holding up in your area?

    Seems to be holding. I sold a large quantity of Al last week for the same price I got in December and Feb. Got a load I'm getting ready to haul with me when I go south next week and will get anywhere from .07 to .20 more per pound. SS seems to be getting hit hard.

    AL is higher now and will be going up more and more because car makers are finally starting to sell cars and most new cars have a lot more AL parts to increase gas mileage.
