    Raw steel output from US mills climbed last week to the highest rate seen in over four months, according to the latest American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) figures. Domestic production has rebounded each of the past four weeks following the multi-month lows seen at the end of the year.

    Weekly production was estimated at 1,778,000 short tons (st) of raw steel in the week ending Jan. 24, rising 22,000 st (1.3 %) from the previous week (Figure 1).
