NON-FERROUS SCRAP
Market Drivers
Copper Scrap — Firm Buying Interest
Copper scrap markets are benefiting from steady demand from wire, cable, and fabrication industries. Limited availability of certain high-grade scrap is providing additional price support. Rising copper values in the broader metals market are also encouraging sellers to hold material for better returns. However, uneven demand across individual grades is keeping price gains relatively modest.
Aluminum Scrap — Weak Pricing Pressure
Aluminum scrap remains under pressure, with several grades recording weekly declines. Softer demand from downstream manufacturers and adequate availability are limiting upward price momentum. The market is also being influenced by cautious purchasing behavior among consumers. Stable prices for some grades indicate that sellers and buyers remain relatively balanced in parts of the market.
Brass Scrap — Stable Industrial Demand
Brass scrap prices have edged higher, supported by consistent buying interest across the North American market. Demand from plumbing, fittings, automotive, and industrial applications is providing a relatively firm consumption base. Balanced supply conditions are also preventing significant downward pressure. The market is therefore showing a more stable tone than some other non-ferrous categories.
Stainless Steel Scrap — Nickel-Linked Support
Stainless steel scrap prices have generally strengthened, reflecting improved market sentiment. Movements in nickel and stainless steel production costs remain important factors influencing scrap valuations. Demand from mills is providing support for several grades, although purchasing remains selective. The fact that 201 stainless steel remained flat suggests that gains are not uniform across all grades.
Lead Scrap — Balanced Fundamentals
Lead scrap prices have remained largely unchanged, indicating a relatively well-balanced market. Steady demand from battery manufacturers is helping absorb available scrap supplies. At the same time, supply appears sufficient to meet current consumption requirements. This equilibrium has kept prices stable without creating significant upward or downward pressure.
Global Base-Metal Prices — Key Market Signal
Movements in benchmark copper, aluminum, nickel, and other base-metal prices continue to influence scrap valuations. Stronger exchange prices can encourage sellers to raise scrap offers, while weaker futures or spot markets can quickly pressure buying prices. Currency movements and investor sentiment also affect the competitiveness of North American material. Consequently, scrap prices remain closely linked to developments in the wider metals complex.

FERROUS SCRAP
Market Drivers
Stable Mill Buying Activity
Ferrous scrap prices remained broadly unchanged during the latest week, pointing to relatively balanced mill buying and seller availability. Steelmakers appear to be purchasing according to near-term production requirements rather than aggressively building inventories. This has reduced the scope for significant price movements. The stable pricing of major grades such as #1 HMS and #1 Busheling reflects this cautious market approach.
Steel Mill Production Rates
Operating rates at steel mills remain an important factor for ferrous scrap demand. Steady production supports regular scrap consumption, particularly for grades used in electric arc furnaces. However, limited changes in steel output can keep scrap purchasing requirements relatively predictable. Any increase or reduction in mill utilization could therefore quickly influence scrap buying activity.
#1 HMS Supply Conditions
The availability of #1 HMS continues to shape pricing across the ferrous scrap market. Balanced flows from demolition, industrial activity, and collection channels have helped prevent major price swings. When obsolete scrap generation remains sufficient, mills have less incentive to compete aggressively for material. Tightening availability, however, could provide upward price pressure if mill demand strengthens.
Shredded Auto Scrap Availability
Shredded auto scrap remains closely tied to vehicle recycling volumes and scrap collection activity. Stable flows of end-of-life vehicles are helping maintain supply to shredders and steel mills. Demand from steel producers is providing a floor for prices, but comfortable availability is limiting sharp increases. Changes in automobile recycling rates could become an important factor for this category in the coming weeks.
Finished Steel Demand
Demand for finished steel remains a key underlying driver of ferrous scrap prices. When orders for construction steel, automotive products, and manufactured goods improve, mills generally have greater incentive to secure scrap. Conversely, weak downstream steel demand can encourage mills to control production and limit scrap purchases. Current stable scrap prices suggest that finished-steel demand is providing neither a strong bullish nor bearish signal.
Steel Mill Margins and Scrap-Spreads
The relationship between scrap costs and finished-steel selling prices remains critical to mill purchasing decisions. Healthy steel margins generally give mills greater flexibility to maintain or increase scrap buying. Narrower margins, however, can lead producers to push for lower scrap prices or reduce purchasing volumes. With major ferrous grades currently stable, mill profitability and the scrap-to-steel spread will remain important indicators of the market's next direction.

Expert Quote
“Steel scrap prices are showing resilience, with cautious optimism for 2026 as improving downstream steel demand is expected to provide support to scrap values.” — Alexander Kershaw, Fastmarkets
Market Outlook
Prices Likely to Remain Range-Bound in the Near Term
Ferrous scrap prices are likely to remain broadly stable in the immediate weeks ahead, as supply and mill demand are currently relatively balanced. Fastmarkets’ August outlook also points to limited scope for a major price move under these conditions. Buyers are expected to remain cautious, while sellers may resist substantial price concessions. Overall, the market is likely to trade within a relatively narrow range unless a significant change in mill buying emerges.
September Mill Buying Could Create Downward Pressure
The next major test for the market will come from September mill purchasing activity. If steelmakers enter the month with adequate inventories and moderate production schedules, they could push for lower scrap prices. Recent market assessments have already identified the possibility of softer September buying, particularly for obsolete grades. This makes a modest correction more likely than a sharp rally in the near term.
Prime Grades Expected to Remain More Resilient
Prime grades such as #1 Busheling and #1 Bundle are likely to outperform obsolete grades if market conditions weaken. Their value is supported by demand from electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmakers and requirements for cleaner, higher-quality metallic feedstock. Stronger flat-rolled steel demand could provide an additional floor under prime scrap values. Consequently, the price gap between prime and obsolete grades may remain relatively wide.
Obsolete Scrap Faces Greater Downside Risk
#1 HMS, Shredded Auto Scrap, and Heavy Melt could face greater price pressure if mill purchasing becomes less aggressive. These grades are more sensitive to changes in collection volumes, mill intake limits, and inventory requirements. Recent market commentary has highlighted greater downside risk for shredded and heavy melt compared with prime grades. Unless export demand or tighter scrap flows offset the pressure, obsolete grades may underperform in the coming months.
EAF Steelmaking Will Support Medium-Term Demand
The growing role of EAF production provides an important structural support for ferrous scrap consumption. EAF mills rely heavily on recycled steel as a metallic input, creating sustained demand for suitable scrap grades. Current market assessments also identify expanding EAF usage as a medium-term positive for prime scrap. This structural factor should help limit prolonged or deep price declines even if short-term market conditions soften.
Domestic Steel Production Will Remain a Key Price Driver
Domestic steel output will continue to determine how aggressively mills compete for scrap. U.S. raw steel production was running above year-earlier levels in early August, although weekly output had eased from the preceding week. If production remains steady or increases, scrap consumption should remain supportive. Conversely, extended maintenance outages or lower utilization could temporarily weaken purchasing requirements.
