Domestic raw steel output fell to a six-month low last week after hitting a multi-year high one week earlier, according to the latest American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) figures.

Apparent steel supply eased 2% from June to July but remained at one of the higher levels recorded in recent years, according to SMU’s analysis of recently released Department of Commerce and American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) data. This measure is calculated by combining domestic mill shipments and finished US steel imports, then subtracting total US exports. It can also be used as a proxy for domestic steel demand.

Total US raw steel mill output declined last week to the lowest rate seen since March, according to the latest figures published by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Production has trended lower since peaking in May but remains historically strong.

Domestic steel production declined last week to the lowest weekly measure recorded since March, according to recently published American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) figures. Although down, production has been historically strong for most of this year. This year we have seen weekly production levels as high as 1,898,000 st in May (six-year high) and as low as 1,704,000 st in the first week of the year.

Apparent steel supply rose 3% from May to June to the highest rate recorded in over four years, according to recent Department of Commerce and American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) figures. June’s supply increased to 9.31 million short tons, driven primarily by higher domestic shipments, and partly offset by lower finished imports and increased exports.

The decisive factor remains the 50% Section 232 tariffs. Still, imports from Europe remain largely near parity with domestic material, while Southeast Asian products are at a considerable discount.

Domestic raw steel output eased to an 11-week low last week, according to recently released American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) figures

SMU’s average price for domestic HR was unchanged vs. last week. In offshore markets last week, while prices diverged, the dynamic between stateside and imported product varied little.

The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) reports that US mill shipments increased 6.2% in May from April. 

Total US raw steel output recovered last week after declining in the three prior weeks, according to recent American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) figures.

Imports from Europe are at parity with domestic hot rolled, while Southeast Asian products remain at a considerable discount. The result comes because a stateside rally coincides with faltering offshore prices.

Total US raw steel output declined last week for the third-consecutive week but remains historically strong.

Cold-rolled coil prices moved higher in the US this week, as offshore prices trended lower. Imports are, as a result, increasingly more competitive, even with the 50% Section 232 tariff.
