AISI: Domestic steel production slips to four-month low
Written by Brett Linton
The volume of raw steel produced by US mills declined last week to the lowest rate recorded in over four months, according to recently released American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) data. Domestic production has been historically strong for most of the year, recently touching a six-year high.
Total raw steel output was estimated at 1,820,000 short tons (st) in the week ending August 8, a 50,000 st or 2.7% reduction from the prior week (Figure 1). Production is 3.2% higher than the same week of 2025.
