AISI: Domestic mill production remains strong
Written by Brett Linton
Domestic steel mill output remained historically strong last week, holding within earshot of a multi-year high, according to recently published American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) figures. Production has increased 10.2% since the start of the year.
Total US raw steel production was estimated at 1,877,000 short tons (st) in the week ending June 6, an increase of 5,000 st from the prior week (Figure 1). This is the third-highest weekly volume seen in the past four years. It’s only surpassed by two readings in mid-May (one of which was a six-year high of 1,898,000 st).
