Copper Rate in Pakistan

The copper rate in Pakistan tracks the global COMEX/LME benchmark converted to rupees. Pure copper cathode and fresh wire trade close to this international price per kg, currently around Rs 3,915 per kg.

Scrap copper — household wiring, motor windings and tubing — typically sells a little below the cathode price depending on grade, cleanliness and local demand in Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad and other scrap markets. Use the per-kg figure here as the ceiling and negotiate the grade discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the copper price today?
The live COMEX copper price per pound, per kilogram and per tonne in US dollars is shown at the top of this page, along with the copper rate in Pakistan per kg in PKR. The chart below shows how it has moved over time.
What is the copper rate in Pakistan today?
The copper rate in Pakistan, derived from the global benchmark converted to rupees, is shown per kg in the hero card and conversion table above. Pure copper cathode and fresh wire trade close to this international price; scrap copper sells a little below it depending on grade.
How is copper priced — per pound, kg or tonne?
COMEX (US) quotes copper in US dollars per pound, while the London Metal Exchange (LME) quotes it per metric tonne. One pound is 0.4536 kg, so the per-kg price is the per-pound price multiplied by about 2.205, and a tonne is 1,000 kg.
Why does scrap copper sell below the price shown here?
The price here is for pure copper (cathode/fresh wire). Scrap — old wiring, motor windings, tubing — is discounted for impurities, insulation, oxidation and processing. Cleaner, higher-grade scrap fetches closer to the cathode price.
What drives the copper price?
Copper is a barometer of the global economy (“Dr. Copper”). Its price moves with industrial demand — construction, power grids, EVs and electronics — plus mine supply, inventories, the US dollar and Chinese demand in particular.
Why is copper called “Dr. Copper”?
Because its broad use across industry makes it a leading indicator of economic health: rising copper demand often signals expansion, while falling demand can flag a slowdown.
How often does the copper price on this page update?
Copper trades through global market hours and the figures here follow the COMEX benchmark, with the “Updated” time showing the latest reading. Over weekends and holidays the price holds at the last close.
What is the difference between COMEX and LME copper?
COMEX (New York) trades copper futures in USD per pound and is the common US reference; the LME (London) trades in USD per tonne and sets warehouse/physical benchmarks. They track each other closely after unit and currency conversion.
Is copper a good investment?
Copper offers exposure to industrial growth and the energy transition, but it is cyclical and volatile. Most people get exposure through futures, ETFs or miners rather than physical metal. This is general information, not personalised advice.
How do I convert copper from per pound to per kg?
Multiply the per-pound price by 2.2046 to get the per-kg price (since 1 kg = 2.2046 lb). To go from per tonne to per kg, divide by 1,000.
Where can I see historical copper prices?
The chart on this page covers several years of daily prices and you can switch the range from one month to five years. The LME and COMEX also publish longer historical series.
Does the copper rate include taxes or dealer margins?
No. The figures here are the clean benchmark price for the copper content. Local dealers and scrap buyers add or subtract margins, and taxes may apply on physical purchases — use this as your reference point when negotiating.
