U.S. Steel Exports Jump in October
Written by Brett Linton
The U.S. exported 709,496 tons of steel in October, according to final Census data, a 15 percent increase from September and up 12 percent from the same month one year ago.
October exports were 13 percent above the 2019 average of 625,236 tons, but remain significantly muted compared to recent years. As shown in the purple line graph below, this October figure is the highest seen since June 2018, which was the month before exports dropped from 850,000+ ton levels to sub-700,000 levels.
