    Written by Sandy Williams

    U.S. Steel unrolled a new operating model on Tuesday that is expected to deliver $200 million of annual fixed cost savings by 2022. The new model includes a realignment of the company’s leadership team. The changes will be effective Jan. 1, 2020, and closely follow the recently announced investment in Big River Steel.

    “Our enhanced leadership team structure is the right next step to help U.S. Steel achieve its ambitious strategy to create the leading integrated and minimill steel company with a world competitive, ‘best of both’ footprint to better serve our customers,” said U.S. Steel President and CEO David Burritt. “We are intensely focused on improving our capabilities to win in strategic markets, reducing structural costs with a leaner footprint and attracting and investing in the best talent that share our S.T.E.E.L. Principles. We have been investing in building a footprint of world-class assets and with today’s announcement we will become a more focused, agile organization with a world-class leadership team ideally structured to capitalize on market opportunities and position us for success.”

    AISI: Domestic mill production retreats after prior-week surge

    Following the multi-year high recorded one week earlier, domestic raw steel output receded back down to typical levels this week, according to the latest American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) figures. Aside from a few blips in recent months, production has trended lower since peaking in May, though it remains historically strong compared to recent years. Total US raw steel mill output was estimated at 1,778,000 short tons (st) in the week ending Nov. 7 (Figure 1). Production was down 275,000 st (13.4%) from the prior week, driven primarily by a sharp reduction in output from the Southern region. This year we have seen weekly production rise as high as 2,053,000 st (last week, an 18-year high) and as low as 1,704,000 st (the first week of the year).

    Leibowitz: Will the next Congress take aim at Trump’s tariffs to address affordability concerns?

    The election last Tuesday was a stunning rebuke to President Trump and many of his policies. High prices and pessimism about the economy were clearly on the minds of voters and the members of Congress they sent to Washington. Trade policy can help address those issues. Some trade experts think the new Congress could deal with tariffs on imports from Canada early on. I also expect hearings and new bills to more closely control presidential authority over tariffs. Much is unknown about what will happen come January, when new members convene. But some points are already obvious to those who see politics as a means to an end (governing) rather than as an end in itself (getting elected).
