AISI: Raw steel production backs off multi-year high
Written by Brett Linton
US raw steel output edged lower last week after hitting a multi-year high in mid-June, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Despite the dip, production remains historically strong, with mills steadily ramping up output since April.
Domestic mills produced an estimated 1,776,000 short tons (st) of raw steel for the week ending June 28 (Figure 1). This is down 11,000 tons or 0.6% from the prior week, when production reached the highest unadjusted weekly rate recorded since May 2022 (1,787,000 st).
