Steel in my area is creeping up

I took in some shred steel yesterday and it is up to $.06 a pound. It has gone as low as $.045 and bounced around up at .005 intervals. At least it is trending the right direction. This is in Houston.

I got .0525 Saturday, which is up from .045 about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Copper was up a little also.
