AISI: Raw steel production drops to multi-month low
Written by Brett Linton
US raw steel output declined last week for the second consecutive week, according to the latest production figures from the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Prior to October, raw production had been historically strong for more than four months.
Domestic mills produced an estimated 1,722,000 short tons (st) of raw steel in the week ending Oct. 11 (Figure 1). Output eased by 27,000 st, or 1.5%, from the previous week, falling to the lowest weekly rate recorded since May.
