AISI: Domestic mill production eases for third week
Written by Brett Linton
Raw steel production declined last week for the third week in a row but remains historically strong, according to recently released American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) data. Before March, production had trended upwards since the start of the year, reaching a four-year high in mid-February.
US mills produced an estimated 1,774,000 short tons (st) of raw steel in the week ending March 13 (Figure 1). Production is down 17,000 st from the week prior and 43,000 st below the mid-February high.
