Aluminum BX: Scrap Yard Price vs. World Market (LME)
Avg scrap yard price
$2.70
Scrap metal dealers
Price gap: +$1.58 / lb
vs. exchange
Today's world market price (LME)
$1.12 / lb
✓ For 99.9% pure refined metal
💡 Why is the yard paying a premium over the exchange? The LME price is the global benchmark for primary refined metal in large institutional contracts. U.S. scrap buy prices can sit above that level when regional premiums apply (for aluminum, the Midwest Premium is a familiar example), because clean, furnace-ready grades are already sorted and molten-ready—without the same import and ingot logistics—while local supply and demand still set the final scale price.
Aluminum BX: Spread vs. Exchange — Monthly History
Market read: This month's average gap between scrap yard prices and the world market for Aluminum BX is 143%. That is wider than any prior month shown in this table (historical band about 2.6%–112.4%). The gap can reflect local demand, timing against the exchange, or what yards are paying for this grade — shop several yards if you need the best number. Our data suggests local yards are still worth comparing before you sell. Check offers in your area ↑
