AISI: Weekly raw steel production slips
Written by Brett Linton
The volume of raw steel produced by US mills eased last week, according to the latest figures from the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Prior to this month, output had remained historically strong since June.
AISI estimated domestic production was 1,740,000 short tons (st) in the week ending Nov. 1, down 7,000 st (0.4%) from the previous week (Figure 1). Output has generally trended lower since August, after reaching a three-and-a-half-year high of 1,800,000 st. The latest rate marks the second-lowest production figure since May.
