Domestic steel shipments remained nearly flat in July month over month but fell from a year earlier.
The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) said US mills shipped 7,160,731 short tons (st) in July vs. 7,152,135 st in June. Still, this marks a 4.1% decrease from the 7,467,446 st shipped in July 2023.
Year to date (YTD) through July, shipments stood at 50,920,412 st, off 3.9% from 52,983,292 st in the first seven months of last year.
Comparing YTD shipments through July in 2024 vs. the same period a year earlier shows the following: cold-rolled sheet, up 4%; corrosion-resistant steel, down 2%; and hot-rolled steel, off 5%.
