Copper Gains = Better News for Building Wire Manufacturers

January 29, 2007

Copper Gains as Economy of China, World's Largest User, Expands | www.bloomberg.com

The decline in Comex pricing has had a severe impact on demand in the final quarter of 2006 which is likely to carry over for a time in 2007.

The decline in copper pricing has put pressure on margins for distributors and manufacturers.

Price does not effect the amount of copper used in a construction project.

It you want to sell more pounds of copper, raise the price.

US Demand for Commercial Construction

August 17, 2006

Komatsu Says China to Buy 10% of Construction Equipment by 2010 | www.bloomberg.com

Demand for commercial construction projects is strong, margins increasing, and qualified labor shrinking. The demand for new construction coupled with the need to revisit existing infrastructure and make improvements linked to demand will help keep commercial construction expanding throughout 2007. Although commercial construction will eventually follow the residential construction market, the commercial markets will typically lag by up to 18 months.
