Year-to-date (YTD) shipments through October totaled 72,283,207 st, a 3.7% decrease from 75,080,374 st in the same period a year earlier.
Comparing YTD shipments for the first 10 months of 2024 vs. 2023 shows cold-rolled sheet, up 4%; corrosion-resistant steel, unchanged; and hot-rolled steel, down 6%.
