The line graph illustrates the average monthly fluctuations in the prices of three different metals—copper, nickel, and zinc—throughout the year 2014. The figures are presented as percentage changes from the previous month.
Overall, it is evident that all three metals experienced considerable volatility over the twelve-month period, with copper exhibiting the most dramatic fluctuations. While nickel and zinc prices remained relatively stable in the latter half of the year, copper showed a notable recovery after a sharp mid-year decline.
In the first quarter of 2014, all three metals started with positive growth. Copper began with a 6% increase in January, followed by a 4% rise in February, before moderating to 1% in March. Nickel also showed strong growth, peaking at 3% in February, while zinc remained relatively subdued, fluctuating between 0.5% and 1% during the same period.
However, from April onwards, a downward trend became apparent. Copper prices experienced a steady decline, falling from 0.5% in April to a low of -3% in June, representing the sharpest drop among all metals. Similarly, nickel turned negative in May and June, though the decline was less severe, reaching -1%. Zinc also dipped into negative territory from May to August, hovering around -1%.
The second half of the year saw a divergence in trends. Copper recovered significantly, rising to 0.8% in July and remaining stable at that level for the next three months before tapering off to zero by November. In contrast, nickel fluctuated between -0.8% and 0% from July to October before stabilising at zero for the remainder of the year. Zinc, after a negative spell, rebounded to 1% in October but also ended the year at zero.
In conclusion, copper was the most volatile metal throughout 2014, with a sharp drop and subsequent recovery, while nickel and zinc showed more moderate fluctuations and greater stability in the final months.
Band Score 5.5The bar graph compares the average monthly change in price of three diffrent matels like copper,nickel and zinc in 2014 overall, it can be seen clearly compared to previous month nickel decreased dramatically and got the lowest price. in the other hand in january zinc had the lowest price compared to other matels but it fluctuate and at the end it increased slightly and obtained highest price. it is clear In january nickel had a 6 percentage of price it decreased dramatically and got 1 percentage In december.where as in january zinc had a 1 percentage it increased marginally and reached 2 percent of price in december. similarly In january copper had a 2 percent it decreased slightly and obtained 1.5 percent of amount in december.
Band Score 5.5The line graph illustrates the average monthly change in the prices of copper,nickel, and zinc in 2014 Overall, it shows a fluctuation trend throughout the year. The prices of nickel gradually decreased ,although it increased slightly at the end of the year. Copper and zinc also fluctuated but their percentage also raised at the end of the year. The value of nickel was at its peak in January when the percentage was 6. In the next three months, it constantly declined until March,which remained slightly steady in theh next two monts. From May to June, the price of nickel dipped down steeply reaching -3%.In next several months, the price rose higher twice from June and again droped dowen to 1 percent in October. In the end, it further increased and finally the price reached at positive trend ,although it was only 1%. On the other hand, the price of copper and zinc remained relatively close in the end.At the very beginning, the price of copper was 2% , whereas the price of zinc was 1%. Throughout the year, both cooper and zinc saw an irregular pattern the price. However, at the end of the year, the price of these two metals grew up and finally copper surpassed nickel and zinc in terms of price rate when it reached at 2%. In conclusion, the price of all three metals shoewd a variation, where nickel started with high value and positioned at the bootom in the end, while zinc stood at top.
Band Score 6The graph illustrates the average percentage change in the prices of three distinct metal ( copper, nickel and Zinc ) montly in 2014. it is clear that the prices of zinc and copper underwent a moderate price drop, whereas nickel became a cheaper metal by significant drop by the end of 2014. Zinc started from a price hike of 1% in january and experienced a further increase in the price by next month followed by a considerable dip in the middle of the year and finished by 2% increase in december. Similarly, copper experienced a price bump by 2% in the beginning of the year with a fluctuated price change throughout the year with a price change of 1.5% in the year-end. In contrast, nickel saw a major decline in the price by 6% increase in january to 1% increase by december before dropping the price by 3% and 2% in june and october respectively.
Band Score 6.5The graph illustrates the price differences of copper, nickel and zinc in the year 2014, over the period of 12 months. Overall, the prices of nickel dropped significantly from january to june, from the highest 6% to the lowest of -3%. This is the lowest compared to copper and zinc. On the contrary copper and nickel both fluctuated over the months, but rose back to similar price and higher at the end of the period. The changes in the price of copper gradually decreased from 2% to -0.5 approximately from January to June. Later it rose to 1% in july and maintaining a slow growth to almost 2% in December, bringing it to a price in which it started in the beginning of the year. Zinc is the only element where the percentage of prices increased in the start. In February it increased to its highest 3%, later gradual decline to -1% in the month June. With fluctuation over the next few months zinc halted at 1% in December at the end of the period.
Band Score 5This graph shown the average monthly change in the prices of three metals during 2014 like copper, nickel and zinc. Price of this metal are getting change every month like in January their is different and in second month their is different. overall, Nickel has highest price percentage with is 6 also it was the most down fall in other months during the year copper has the most balance line drawn which mean it has no much more changes in price and at last zinc has the lower start but at the end of the year it has the high percentage At first. we are going to talk about the nickel and it price change in every month. in January the price of nickel is at highest which is at 6 percent and at February it has sudden down fall to 4 percent and in may it decreased to 1 percent after march in April it remain same like 1 percent and in may it slightly decrease to 0.5 percent and in July it goes down to -3 percent and it was the lowest of all om this graph and after that in July there was sudden jump to -1 percent after that it was quite same for 2 month more in August and September plus in October their was a down fall to -2 percent after that their was a sudden jump in November like it goes up to 1 percent also in December it was same this was the information about nickel At Second, we are going to talk about the copper and it price change in every month. in January the price of copper is at highest which is at 2 percent and at February it has sudden down fall to 1 percent and in may it decreased to 0.5 percent after march in April it remain same like 0.5 percent and in may it slightly decrease to -1.5 percent and in July it was same like -1.5 percent and after that in July there was sudden jump to 1 percent after that it was quite same for 2 month more in August and September plus in October their was a down fall to 0.5 percent after that their was a sudden drop in November like it goes up to 0.5 percent also in December it goes up to 1.5 At last we are going to talk about zinc price.

Band Score 6The diagram illustrates data of the average monthly change in prices of three metals duing the period of 2014. When looking at the overal trend of the graph it is noticed that Nickel has a very volatile price compared to the other two metals Copper and Zinc. And that the same pattern in price can be observed in four different periods through out the year. At the begin of the year Nickel dropped significantely in price together with Copper while in contrast Zinc became more expensive first but later also followed in this trend. All of the three metals had a stable price in the months March, April and May. But Nickel and Zinc had a significant drop in price in the month of June while Copper stayed consistent. Proceeding to the months July, August and September all three of the metals had the same behaviour. In the last three months of the year Nickel and Zinc both increased in price significantely. A overal trend can be observed that Nickel and Zinc show the same kind of price jumps while Copper most of the time stays stable and consistent.
Band Score 6The graph shows the percental change of the price of metals in 2014 per month. The change of the price is calculated by taking the price of the last month as a baseline and depicting the percentale change of the new price. The prices of the metals have no to little pattern amongst each other. The price of Nicke varies the most and thus is the most volatile metal of the three. Copper has the most steady price while Zinc falls between the two but is more similair to Copper than to Nickel. The only things that stands out is that the change price of all three metals are all on their respective lowest in june with Nickel being at minus three percent, Zinc minus 1 percent and Copper being at approximately minus half a percent. In the months of July, August and September the prices of the three metals are very stable with there being a decline in price but the same level of decline for three months. That kind of behaviour is not seen anywhere else.
Band Score 6The line graph illustrates the changes in the cost of three metals in 2014. Overall, it is evident that Zink experienced an upward trend despite its fluctuation, whereas Nickel declined over the period. in addition, Copper recorded a slight decrease. At the beginning of the period, Copper stood at 2% compared with Zinc at 1%, thereafter, Copper fell steadily to about -0.5% in the middel of the year before recovering slightly towards the end of the period, meanwhile, Zinc rose gradually to 3% in February, after that it decreased back and then fluctuated before reaching its peak at 2% in the end of the year. Turning to Nickel , its figure had a dramatic decline going from 6% in the beginning of 2014 to -3% in the middel of it, then had a slight fluctuation until it settled at 1%. by contrast , Copper remained relatively stable, hovering around 1 and 2 percent, by the end of the period , Nickel finished below Zinc.
Band Score 5.5The line graph illustrates the average monthly change in the costs of cooper, nickel, and zinc throughout 2014. Overall, nickel witnessed a dramatical drop over the given period , while zinc and copper fluctuated over the year. Looking at the the price of copper in detail, it declined significantly until June, falling from 6% to -3%. After that, it remained steady for three months after increasing by 2% in July, accounting for 1% in December. Regarding copper, it decreased moderately until June, making up just under 0%. Afterwards, it experienced a sharp growth in July, recording 1%. For the remaining period, the change in the price of copper fluctuated, accounting for approximately 1.5%. For the zinc, it increased slightly until February before it dropped significantly over the next 4-months period. In October, there was a significant growth in the price of zinc, recording the highest change percentage in December with 2%.
Band Score 5The line graph illustrates the average monthly change in the costs of cooper, nickel, and zinc throughout 2014. Overall, nickel witnessed a dramatical drop over the given period, becoming the cheapest in December, while zinc and copper fluctuated over the year, with zinc becoming the most expensive metal in December. Looking at the the price of copper in detail, it declined significantly until June, falling from 6% to -3%. After that, it remained steady for three months after increasing by 2% in July, accounting for 1% in December. Regarding copper, it decreased moderately until June, making up just under 0%.

Band Score 5.5The graph below shows the average monthly prices of three metals during a single year in 2014. It is easily noticed that all three medals regardless of their starting position of the price, they ended almost with the same price, between 10% and 20%. Nickel was the most expensive metal at the biggening of the year but had a huge decrease in the following months, with the lowest point in June that reached minus 30% of the price. In addition, Copper and Zinc, had the same price as they ended with slightly increase of Zinc and a downgrade of Copper. They both reached minus 0 at the biggening of the summer, Copper reached 10% and stayed there, on the other hand, Zinc stayed below 0 until autumn to end up at 20% in December. To sum up, the biggest percentage of price decrease had to happen to Nickel metal, a huge downfall from 60% to minus 30%. Apart from that, every metal saw a loss of percentage until December which all metals ended at the same price.
Band Score 5.5The line chart illustrates average monthly change in price of three metals -- copper , nickel, and zinc. Overall, Nickle was the metal with the highest initial price , however it is the same metal facing the highest decline in price among three of them. Moreover, least change was recorded in copper's price. Initially, in January 2014, Nickel price was 6 points, which declined to its lowest -3 point in the month of June, in contrast, it got stable to some extent and hit the point 1. Still remaining lower than its starting price. On the other hand, copper started from 2 points, reduced at June around -0.5 points and surged up-to 1.5 points in December. However, the case is quite different for zinc, originally, it had a value of point 1, afterwards it faced some fluctuations, but in the late 2014 it closed at 2 points, highest than both previously mentioned metals. The similarity among all three metals prices is that they all reached its lowest in June.
Band Score 5.5The line graph illustrates the average monthly change in the prices of three metals during 2014. The three metals are Copper, Nickel, and Zinc. The figures are presented in percentage changes in price compared with the previous month. Overall, over the years, at the start of the year, the nickel price is high level. While, at the same time, zinc price level is low. The copper price level is fluctuating this year. Looking at the details, the nickel starting price change percentage is 6, which was the highest among other metals. After six months, the nickel price percentage is a decreasing level. That percentage level is minus 3. After next month, increased in 2 percentage points, and for the following three months, it remained stable. Then, the percentage is increased in plus amount. However, the zinc and copper first month price percentages are 2 and 1. In the end, it shows that end of the year price of the metals are same percentage.
Band Score 4.5copper, nickel and zinc are one of the most important metal used in our daily life. Although they are used in electric wire , moter etc.All of these are metal are knowm for there specific function they perform. As the graph show the price of these metal have fallen or desreased throughly a year. first of all let examine the price of copper it was gereally same all across the year with few increase and decrease in price. Secondly, nickel the price was too much high in tha starting of the year but generally with huge decrease. At the end zinc it price increase desrease as same as copper with little increase and decrease in price. in the end, it shows that at the end of the year price of these metal are same. but eventually at the start nickel price was too much high with respect to cooper and zinc.
Band Score 6The line graph renders an analysis of the changes in cost of copper, nickel and zinc over a one year period , spanning from January to december. Overall, it can be clearly seen that the copper price remains almost the same over the given period, whereas the other two metal experinced fluctued trend. Regarding the specifics, in January, the price of nickel changed by 6%, which was the highest among other metals. Over the month, the price of nickel experienced a downward trend and reached negative 3% in the month of June , and it was the lowest compared to copper and zinc . However , again it was rising and stood at 1% change the price of nickel in the end of year. In January, the copper and zinc price changes were at 2% and 1%. Zinc price were rose in February by 2% and again followed a downward trend till Octobefr and reached by -1 %, whereas the copper remained almost same by 2% over the given period.
Band Score 6The line graph besides illustrates the average monthly changes in the price of copper, nickel and zinc in 2014. Overall, it is clear that the three of them were in a downward trend. The cost of nickel and zinc shared the same trend together, although there was a small different at the beginnings of the period, whereas the copper price held the steadiest proportion. In the first month of 2014, the percentage of nickel price was the largest, with 6 percent change higher than the last month, then hit the lowest point of about 1 percent in May. By contrast, the cost of zinc was the smallest degree, with only 1 percent but went up exponentially to the amount of 6 percent, reaching 6 times of what it was at the beginnings of the period. There was a dramatic decrease which push the amount of zinc to minus 1 percent. However, as it is mentioned before, zinc and nickel shared the similar trend of slight increase until the end of the whole period. Meanwhile, the rate of copper was less fluctuated. It declined slowly to about minus 1 percent in June and then increased to 1 percent in the next month. However, the proportion kept a trend that remained steadily until December.
Band Score 6The line graph illustrates a comparison of the proportion change in prices between three metal categories during twelve months period in 2014. Overall, there was a significant shift in prices of three metals over the period. Nickel experienced the most decline compared to others. Meanwhile, copper remained the most stable. In additon, all three metals ended the year with major fluctuations. In January, Nickle began with the highest increased, showed the significant price with 6%. However, Nickle plunged to 1% in just 3 months later before dropping to -3% in June, which was the most lowest figure had been recorded over the graph. Despite fluctuation, but was not has a significant , until grew enormously to 1% in december. Zinc and copper followed a similar downward during this six months period, with both metals seeing their price growth to approximately -1% and just below 1% by June.In the second half of 2014, the prices of these metals began to recover. Nickel’s price change fluctuated between -1% and -2% from July to November before climbing back to 1% in December.Constantly, zinc experienced a gradual recovery, with its percentage change rising steadily to peak at 2% in the final month. Meanwhile, copper prices remained relatively stable, fluctuating around 1% to 1.5% from July onwards and ending the year with a 1.5% increase in December
Band Score 6The line graph demonstrate the average monthly change in the prices of three metals during 2014. Overall, all three metals experienced a downward trend in their prices changes during the first haft of the year, followed by a slight in second half.Similarly,Nickel showed the most significant fluctuations, while copper maintained the most stable price movement. In January, nickel reach the highest increase in price change at 6%,followed by zinc at 1% and copper at 2%.However, the price growth for nickel fell sharply over the next few months, its lowest point of -3% in June.Zinc and copper followed a similar downward during this six months period, with both metals seeing their price growth to approximately -1% and just below 1% by June.In the second half of 2014, the prices of these metals began to recover. Nickel’s price change fluctuated between -1% and -2% from July to November before climbing back to 1% in December.Constantly, zinc experienced a gradual recovery, with its percentage change rising steadily to peak at 2% in the final month.
