*Cost and price · Moderate · Both ways*

EPDM insulates medium-voltage and flexible power cables, so grid and wind farm build-out adds demand. The cable price index moves with the rubber proxy at only 0.05 monthly and 0.47 yearly, as cable prices are driven mostly by copper.

- **0.05** monthly change correlation
- **0.47** 12-month change correlation
- **0.40** fitted elasticity
