Global Crude Steel Output Falls Further in November

World crude steel production declined month on month (MoM) in November, driven by a widespread decline worldwide. Global production was also down nearly 3% vs. the same period last year, according to World Steel Association (worldsteel) data.

November’s output lost ground when compared to October, down 5.6%, declining for the second straight month. World crude steel production was estimated at 139.1 million metric tons last month.
