Written by Brett Linton
The volume of raw steel produced by US mills grew last week, holding on to the gains seen the prior week, according to the latest figures released by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI).
Domestic mill production was estimated at 1,756,000 short tons (st) of raw steel in the week ending Jan. 17, up 4,000 st (0.2%) from the previous week (Figure 1). Following the multi-month lows seen around the end of the year, production is up to an eight-week high and stands among one of the stronger levels seen in recent months.
