Busheling scrap Price Trend Q2 2026
In Q2 2026, global Busheling scrap prices moved higher, supported by healthy downstream demand, firm industrial activity, and balanced supply conditions across major markets. Strong procurement from key end use industries, coupled with steady manufacturing output and constrained spot availability, sustained positive market sentiment through April and May.
Higher raw material costs and active purchasing further reinforced the upward price momentum. The Busheling Scrap Price Chart reflected this consistent increase during the first two months of the quarter, highlighting firm market fundamentals. Toward the end of the quarter, however, seasonal demand moderation, improving supply availability, and softer downstream consumption reduced buying interest.
As inventories recovered and procurement activity slowed, the Busheling Scrap Price Index began reflecting a market correction, with prices declining across most regions in June 2026 as supply demand balances gradually normalized.
