Finally, our analysis suggests that copper is the best performing metal in the period immediately after negative bond price shocks.
An accurate copper price prediction may guide commodity trading and firm profits in the copper industry.
New brass and copper alloys offer high strength as well as excellent retention of strength at elevated operating temperatures.
An application of the brass casting APP model to a brass factory demonstrates that the proposed model successfully solves the multi-blend problem for brass casting and determines the optimal raw material purchasing policies.
The equilibrium diagrams are in agreement with the reported behaviour of brass in copper-containing 15 M ammonia, and with the active behaviour of zinc.
The amount of brass formed is in agreement with concentrations predicted from thermodynamic calculations and the rate of diffusion of zinc in the copper crystallites.
Also, copper price shocks show greater impact on the production materials PPI than on the living materials PPI.
From the short-run and long-run causality tests, we determine that the futures market plays an important role in transmitting price information to other copper markets while such information flow is not found for the brass scrap market.
As a result, the coated brass with copper content of 60-70% is effective and the thickness of coated brass is needed to be more than 1.45μm for high removal rate.
We find support for the price–theft hypothesis: Changes in the price of copper were positively associated with variations in the volume of “live” copper cable theft.
The small sample analysed suggests that red brass appears earlier than yellow brass, and trade metals may be found at sites in the Lake Ontario drainage before they are found in the southern Georgian Bay area.
This study, therefore, provides new insights into price determination on the LME copper market, and resolves the ambiguity of previous research regarding the efficiency of that market.
These findings may inform future investigations into brass corrosion issues and plumbing designs.
In conclusion, hard brass can be obtained from recycled Cu and Zn as compared to normal brass billets.
Second, it is shown that a partially integrated copper producer may find rationing profitable as a means of partially achieving the effects of price discrimination given that price discrimination itself is infeasible.
Copper extraction is distinctly profitable when the selling price of copper is ∼$2.5 per kg, whereas it is unprofitable when the selling price falls below $1.5 per kg.
The economics of this mineral are such that a higher price offering is a necessary precondition in order to motivate enhanced recovery rates from copper mining, and for future direct mining projects.

Finally, it is concluded that the determined equation with 0.132 of RMSE can predict the copper price better than the classic estimation methods.
The application to the U. S. refined copper market provides estimates of structural supply and demand, rational price forecasts, and the risk of copper storage that is consistent with modern portfolio theory.
