    Written by Brett Linton


    Domestic steel mill output edged lower last week, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). While down, production remains historically strong since peaking in early June.

    US mills produced an estimated 1,768,000 short tons (st) of raw steel for the week ending July 19 (Figure 1). Output declined 15,000 st, or 0.8%, week over week (w/w), sitting 19,000 st below the three-year high recorded in mid-June.
