Today's world market price (CME)
$103 / ton
✓ For 99.9% pure refined metal
💡 Why is the yard paying a premium over the exchange? The CME 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.
