Prices will go up 10% in the beginning of May

Even tough the last thing on your mind right now is "hurricanes" and "shutters", The London Metals Exchange is going crazy with precious metals speculation. The price of gold, as you know, has hit an all time high. Other precious metals have been following suit, amongst them aluminum, copper and bronze.

Our products are made mainly of aluminum: Accordion shutters, roll up shutters, most storm panels and screen enclosure products. Aluminum is a favorite metal for the construction of windows, shutters and many other building products.

It's a bit of an oddball thing: The demand for building products has come down, so how can shutters and other related products now go up in price?

Faith in the dollar and many other currencies such as the euro is at an all time low. Countries are going more and more into debt by printing and borrowing money. This creates inflation and instability. There's so much metal to go around. It can't be "printed". Metal, such as aluminum, is actually an alloy and needs to go through an intensive process to make it durable enough to be used. Printing money however is very easy to do and governments in trouble have been doing this for years!

So recyclers right now are paying up to 75 cents for scrap aluminum, $2 for scrapped copper, not to mention gold or silver.

Here's a link to The London Metals Exchange
