Written by Brett Linton
The U.S. steel mills exported 1 million tons of steel during the month of April. This is within the 12 month moving average and only slightly higher than the 1,041,387 net tons shipped in April 2013. During the same month (April 2014) foreign imports rose by 999,557 net tons compared to the same period one year ago. The just released final census data has imports at their highest mark in years at 3,738,027 net tons.
The revised May license data as of June 4th has May at 3.993 million net tons or 1.155 million tons greater than the same month last year.
