Written by Brett Linton
US raw steel production rose to a new high last week, according to the latest data released by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Mills have ramped up output since April, with weekly production increasing in all but four of the past 16 weeks.
Domestic steel mills produced an estimated 1,800,000 short tons (st) of raw steel in the week ending Aug. 9 (Figure 1). Output grew by 18,000 st, or 1.0%, from the previous week, now up to the highest unadjusted weekly total since January 2022.
