MetalPrices.com is a metal pricing utility and our service is specifically targeted to anyone responsible for tracking the raw material value of any metal product.
Our primary function is to publish prompt, accurate metal prices in a useful format. The industries we serve are mills, foundries, service centers, fabricators, forge shops, machine shops, mining producers, scrap processors, traders, researchers, and the financial industry.
Metals traded on the "Open Market" are not traded on any exchange, i.e. LME, NYMEX/COMEX, SHFE, and SGX, and are defined here as metals purchased and sold between companies for physical delivery. Gathering prices for metals traded on the open markets is an art. Our market intelligence team are all veterans of the metal industry who have bought, sold, or traded metal for decades. They understand the nuances and underlying dynamics that is particular to each metal, allowing for independent and objective reporting.
Since 1995, we have developed a network of reliable price contributors who believe accuracy and transparency are in the best interests of all parties, both buyers and sellers. In our opinion, applying judgment to the price discovery process remains today the best method to determine metal prices traded on the open market. Our experience in making informed, accurate judgments is one of the most important values we offer to "MetalPrices.com's" subscribers.
