Join Alex Nicoll, Senior Reporter, Metals, for an in-depth discussion on Argus' newly launched US aluminum scrap price assessments, the first comprehensive coverage of key automotive scrap grades in the market.
US primary aluminum prices have surged to record highs in 2025, while supply constraints have intensified market volatility. These developments have underscored the importance of transparent pricing for key automotive scrap grades used in vehicle body sheet production.
In response, Argus has launched five new US aluminum scrap price assessments for automotive alloys, 5182, 5754, 6016, 6022, and 6111, in the form of baled clips. These alloys are essential materials used by automakers for body sheet, panels, and other exterior components.
Key topics covered in the webinar:
The five new aluminum scrap assessments and how they reflect current market dynamics
The methodology and market feedback that shaped these assessments
How increased tariffs and supply disruptions are reshaping the US automotive aluminum supply chain
The growing role of aluminum in vehicle production and what this means for scrap generation and pricing
Argus is the first price reporting agency to publish all five of these key aluminum scrap assessments, setting a new benchmark for transparency and reliability in this evolving market.
