When people talk about copper prices, they usually mean the LME reference. But in real trading, the LME number is only the starting point. The final price in a quotation reflects the reality of supply, delivery, timing, and the exact metal specification you need.
In most physical transactions, a copper quote is built on an LME-linked reference plus a premium. That premium can move based on where the material is delivered, how quickly it is needed, and which form of copper is required, such as cathode or wire rod. Documentation requirements, payment terms, and the reliability of the shipment also influence the final commercial terms.
Another important factor is timing. Markets can change quickly, and the difference between pricing today and pricing during a set window can affect the outcome. For buyers, the key is not only the headline price, but also how the quote is fixed and how the terms protect your production plan and margin.
At Karen Metal, we focus on clear LME-referenced quotations with transparent terms. When you share your specification, quantity, delivery destination, and target timeline, we respond with availability and a pricing indication aligned with LME references and real execution conditions.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy.
my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.
I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary.
