    Written by David Schollaert

    Raw steel production by US mills recovered slightly last week, rising 1% from the week prior, according to data released by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) on Monday, April 10.

    Domestic production stood at 1,675,000 net tons in the week ended April 8 vs. 1,658,000 tons the previous week. Output was off 6.3% from 1,788,000 tons in the same week last year. This marks the first increase after two consecutive weeks of output declines.
