The Copper Journal
The Definitive Metals Industry Report
Metals industry veteran John Gross has published The Copper Journal Report since 1987. John started his career in the metals industry nearly 50 years ago. This vast experience enabled him to publish the industry’s leading report on base and precious metals, The Copper Journal, for over three decades. In addition to metals, The Copper Journal also focuses on energy, currencies, interest rates, and the equity markets.
A Clear and Concise Report
“In one clear, concise, and consistent format, readers can see statistically how prices and inventory levels of metals have changed over time,” says Gross. “Most issues also include long-term trends in various economic indicators to establish correlations to underlying metal market developments.” Each issue includes a brief market commentary from Gross, along with associated charts that provide a long-term visual perspective. “I believe a good chart tells a great story all by itself,” says Gross. Subscribers to The Copper Journal stay up-to-date and ahead of the curve on important metal market developments as they evolve. “There’s no other publication available that brings together critical components of the markets that are key to your business success,” says Gross.
A Half-Century’s Experience
Gross began working in the metals industry in 1973 after returning from Vietnam with a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. In the years that followed, he worked for many of the leading companies in the industry's key sectors, including AMAX Copper Inc., Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting, Johnson Matthey & Wallace, Cablec Corp. (now owned by Prysmian Group), and Scott Brass. In 1987, Gross used his experience to form J.E. Gross & Associates Inc., a consulting firm for the base and precious metals industries. Soon after, he started publishing The Copper Journal.
Broad Readership Across Industries
The Copper Journal's readership is broad and includes copper wire and cable manufacturing and distribution companies, brass mills, copper mining companies, trading companies, electrical and plumbing manufacturing companies, construction companies, utilities, rail, transit, and automotive companies, and electrical and plumbing sales representatives and distributors. “If you work in one of these areas, there’s no better value for your money,” says Gross. “You can learn almost everything you need to know and stay current on important market developments for less than a dollar a day.”
