AISI: Raw steel production slows to two-month low
Written by Brett Linton
Total US raw steel output declined last week for the third consecutive week but remained historically strong, according to recent American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) figures.
Domestic raw steel production was estimated at 1,842,000 short tons (st) in the week ending June 27 (Figure 1). Output was down 9,000 st, or 0.5%, from the prior week and is now at the lowest rate recorded since late April. Recall that in mid-May, production touched a six-year high of 1,898,000 st.
