Is there an online "ticker" for metals?

[djturnz]

I have a bunch of copper wire to be recycled. I called and got the going price from a local recycler. I was told by a friend who recycles a lot that the prices are down right now.

I assume that the recycler has to base his rate on something. Is there a site I can use to see when the "market" changes? At least to give me an idea of when he might be paying more? I don't want to call daily to ask.

I know Bloomberg tv or somesuch has the "ticker".
You might want to try the "ticker" for the commodities market.

Or access the Wall Street Journal which will definitely have the prices for precious metals.

ETA: Some sources to the "market" you have to pay for. However some of the larger banks have that information available for free.

I'm into metals, so I have a few live tickers bookmarked.

All I see is Gold, Silver, Platinum and Paladium.

No copper, brass, aluminum.
