U.S Steel Exports Show Decline in June
Written by Brett Linton
The U.S. exported 600,000 tons of steel in June, according to final Census data, a 5 percent slip from May, and down 34 percent from the same month one year ago.
June exports were in line with the 2018 average (~610,000 tons), but down significantly compared to the past few years. This time last year, exports were over 900,000 tons and were averaging 860,000+ tons in the spring and early summer months. It was July 2018 when exports dropped to sub-700,000-ton levels.
