Copper strip

C11000 ETP / C10200 OFHC / C17200 BeCu

Copper strip is the flat-rolled feedstock for electrical and electronic components. Direct MT hedging works seamlessly for 99.9%+ pure grades; specialty alloys (BeCu) with lower Cu content deserve separate catalog entries if volumes justify.

Worked example

Typical shipment

Commercial qty

20 MT

As invoiced

Contained metal

20.00 MT

Copper inside the goods

Hedgeable metal

20.00 MT

Flows to hedge desk → LME Copper

20 MT = 20.00 MT contained Refined metal is 100% base metal → 20.00 MT Copper hedgeable

20 MT of C11000 copper strip × 100% = 20 MT Cu hedgeable → hedge on LME Copper.
