Aluminum Scrap Markets
September 15, 2025
Join AMU for a webinar about the future of premiums and scrap tolling
Written by Stephanie Ritenbaugh
In recent months, physical aluminum premiums have surged to unprecedented levels. Will we see a repeat of the volatility we saw this summer? How will uncertainty about trade factor into prices? How might scrap buying spreads to the Midwest transaction price play out?
Join AMU experts Greg Wittbecker and Nicholas Bell on Thursday, September 25 at 11 a.m. ET as they discuss what lies ahead for premiums and recycled metals tolling in 2026.
Wittbecker is a senior advisor to AMU who brings over 40 years of leadership experience from Alcoa, Cargill, and CRU. He brings deep expertise in commercial strategy, policy analysis, and industry evolution, with insights spanning the trading floor to the boardroom.
Bell, senior editor for AMU, has over half a decade of experience covering metals markets, pricing trends, and supply chain dynamics. Prior to joining AMU, he reported on aluminum, high-temperature scrap, and ferro-alloy markets at Argus Media, along with minor metals. Through price reporting, he developed knowledge of how metals are valued and traded.
