Metal quotations

Our individual metal prices LCP (LAPP Copper Price) and LAP (LAPP Aluminium Price) are derived from the following values:

  • The LME cash settlements for copper and aluminium (each in USD per tonne)
  • The ECB reference rate (fixing at 14:15) for the USD/EUR conversion
  • A cathode premium for copper determined from the procurement costs (in USD per tonne)
  • A percentage surcharge for ancillary purchasing costs for copper
  • A percentage bolt and ancillary purchase cost mark-up for aluminium

In principle, we settle copper and aluminium at the average of the previous month's daily prices.
