AISI: Raw steel production holds near 6-year high
Written by Brett Linton
Domestic raw steel production inched up 2,000 short tons (st) last week and remains within reach of a multi-year high, according to recently published American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) data. Mill output has strengthened 10% since the beginning of the year.
US mills produced an estimated 1,872,000 st of raw steel in the week ending May 30, the third-highest weekly rate seen in over four years (Figure 1). Compare this to the six-year high rate of 1,898,000 st set two weeks prior.
