What about brass? Brass is mainly copper and zinc. Its price varies by alloy and form. The copper quote offers ingredient context; see zinc’s market reference ↗.

And steel? Follow a specific steel market: See hot-rolled steel futures ↗. This is an industrial reference, not jewelry-grade stainless steel.
