Weekly scrap market report

Streamed live 53 minutes ago

Nickel remains strong near $20,000/MT despite stainless scrap lagging, platinum and palladium are rebounding to support catalytic converter prices, and tungsten and carbide have nearly doubled since November — making early 2026 one of the strongest starts the scrap metal market has seen in years.
