AISI: Raw steel production bounces back
Written by Brett Linton
Domestic mill production rebounded last week, according to the latest production figures released by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Production had been historically strong over the summer months before softening in early October.
For the week ending Oct. 18, US mills produced an estimated 1,744,000 short tons (st) of raw steel (Figure 1). Output increased by 22,000 st (1.3%) from the previous week, when it had fallen to one of the lowest weekly rates seen since May.
