US steel mills shipped 7,083,141 short tons (st) in September, according to the the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). That represents a 2.9% drop from the 7,292,562 st shipped in August. It’s also off 1.2% from the 7,169,942 st shipped in September 2023.
Year-to-date shipments through September stood at 65,296,115 st. That’s down 3.6% from 67,734,001 st in the same 2023 comparison.
Comparing YTD shipments for the first nine months of 2024 with those a year earlier shows: cold-rolled sheet, up 4%; corrosion-resistant steel, off 1%; and hot-rolled steel, down 5%.
