    Written by Brett Linton

    Raw steel mill output held steady last week following its rebound the prior week, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Production remains at one of the higher rates recorded so far this year.

    Domestic steel mill production was estimated at 1,667,000 short tons (st) in the week ending March 15 (Figure 1). Production declined by 4,000 tons, or 0.2%, from the previous week.
