Steel Exports Dip from October to November
Written by Sandy Williams
U.S. steel exports declined 1.5 percent from October to November, but were higher than the same month in 2016, according to data from the American Institute for International Steel.
Exports of 882,665 net tons jumped 21 percent year-over-year. Nearly half of those November exports – 431,980 net tons, essentially unchanged from October but 17.7 percent higher than a year earlier – went to Canada, while the bulk of the remainder – 335,342 net tons, 4.2 percent less than the previous month but 14.7 percent higher than November 2016 – shipped to Mexico, said AIIS. Exports to the European Union totaled 40,655 tons, up 12.4 percent from October and more than double the export total from the preceding November.
