The table in that article is screwy.... successive years on the X-axis but nothing to identify the values on the Y-axis. So do you know what the Y-axis number represent? Dollars? Euros? Yuan?
Also does not explain what the numbers actually represent... but I have since learned, following my initial reply, that the numbers represent DOLLARS-PER-TON.
Maybe they just assume everyone knows what they are talking about, but to someone seeing that chart for the first time, he would have little idea what the value is.
Well yes, of course.... but WHAT price unit is the question. Since I posted that, I have come to learn that the Y-axis numbers represent DOLLARS PER TON, not a unit of measure that comes immediately to mind unless one is an insider or trader in metals. I was merely posting the question to learn what the Y-axis represents.
