The graph below shows the average monthly change in the prices of three metals during 2014. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The illustration gives information about the average differences in the cost of three materials which are copper, nickel, and zinc every month throughout the year 2014.
Overall, what stands out from the graph is that there were considerable downward trends in the selling price of copper, nickel, and zinc in the first half of the year. Then, their prices remain stable in the next three months after increasing sharply in the last period. Another interesting point is that Nikel had the highest price at the beginning but after twelve months, it was sold at the lowest price.
Look at the details, as regards Nikel, its payment rate started at 6 percent in January of 2014, and then the price hit the bottom at just -3 percent after 6 months. Having stayed unchanged at -1 percent over a three-month period from July to September, the figure then continued decreasing 1 percent to -2 percent in the next month. In the last two months of the year, the rate saw a dramatic increase to 1%, which is 3% higher than the price in October.
If we look at Copper, the trend was similar. The cost of Copper also plummeted from 2 percent at the beginning of the year to -0.5 percent in June. In the next three months, its data remained constant at -1 percent. After that, despite a negligible drop in October, the rate grew slightly to around 1 percent in both November and December, which is about three times higher than the figure one month ago.
As for the last metal, the price of Zinc reached its peak at 3 percent in just the first two months of the year and the figure then fell remarkably to -1 percent in June. There was a steep rise to 2 percent between November and December after a leveling off at nearly 0 percent from July to September.
