AISI: Raw steel production ticks back up
Written by Brett Linton
US raw steel output increased last week following two consecutive weekly declines, according to the latest production data released by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Raw production has stayed historically strong over the past four months an has held near multi-year highs since June.
Domestic mills produced an estimated 1,770,000 short tons (st) of raw steel for the week ending Sept. 27 (Figure 1). Output climbed by 16,000 st, or 0.9%, from the previous week. It now sits just 30,000 st, or 1.7%, shy of the three-and-a-half-year high recorded in early August.
