Nonferrous Mill Shapes Prices Fall to 407.6
Correction (2026-09-14): This article originally called the series Aluminum Mill Prices. BLS series WPU1025 measures nonferrous mill shapes, not that previously stated category. Labels and purchasing scope have been corrected. The original publication date, observation periods, values, and URL are preserved. Any cost example is hypothetical index tracking, not a measured purchasing bill.
Nonferrous Mill Shapes Prices fall 1.6% in July 2026 to 407.6 and up 30.2% from a year earlier. On an unchanged basket costing $250,000 now, a 30.2% year-over-year move is $57,988 added to the same source-index basket (illustrative only, assuming exact index tracking).
- July 2026: 407.6
- on the month: -1.6%
- on the year: +30.2%
The print sits 94% of the way up the archived range of 296.0 (May 2025) to 414.2 (June 2026), with the standing trend rising.
The year-over-year comparison is against July 2025, which printed 313.1. Source: BLS Producer Price Index. The number above is the agency's published value, unrounded; the history and any later revisions stay queryable on the live data page.
