This ductile metal is famed for its thermal and electrical conductivity and graces all kinds of products in homes and commercial applications. Over thousands of years, copper and its alloys have been present in civilization and contributed to the history of humankind. In fact, when alloyed with tin to become bronze, copper gave rise to a new era in development. Contracts on copper and copper futures are traded around the world, but our specifications refer to the COMEX copper futures contract.
