AISI: Raw steel output slips
Written by Brett Linton
After climbing to a four-month high in mid-January, the amount of raw steel produced by US mills eased last week, according to the latest figures released by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Although down, production remains strong compared to the multi-month lows seen at the end of the year.
Domestic production was estimated at 1,758,000 short tons (st) of raw steel in the week ending Jan. 31, down 20,000 st, or 1.1%, from the previous week (Figure 1).
