U.S. Steel Exports Low in November
Written by Brett Linton
U.S. steel exports in November totaled 615,818 net tons (558,661 metric tons), down 2.4 percent from October, and down 30.2 percent from levels one year ago.
After the September 2018 low of 584,858 tons, last November is the next lowest month for exports since February 2009 when 602,945 tons of steel were exported outside of the United States. Looking back to the first half of 2018, total exports were averaging around 850,000 tons per month for over a year, with the only sub-800,000 figure being in December 2017.
