The graph below shows the average monthly change in the prices of three metals during 2014.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main feature, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line graph illustrates the average
change
in the
price
of copper,
nickel
, and zinc within each month in 2014.
Overall
, there were various degrees of instabilities in the cost of all metals, with
nickel
having the most prominent fluctuation. The rate of
nickel
throughout the
year
2014 was observed to be significantly volatile relative to the other metals.
This
was indicated by a steep decline of the average
price
change
from 6% in January to -3% in June, followed by 3 months of plateau, before stabilizing back up to only 1% of monthly
price
change
towards the end of the
year
. Aside from that, the
price
changes in the zinc group shared a lesser degree of fluctuation than
nickel
, with the difference between the start and the end of the
year
of only 1%.
In contrast
with the other groups, the
price
changes of copper throughout the
year
were the most stable, with only a slight dip in May and June. The monthly
price
variation in copper was relatively constant during the
year
, starting and ending at 2% and around 1.5%
change
, respectively.
