    Written by David Schollaert


    Raw steel production by US mills inched up last week, gaining ground for the second straight week, according to the latest data from the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Despite the increase, utilization remained below the 80% mark for the 22nd consecutive week.

    Domestic steel output was 1,635,000 net tons during the week ending Dec. 10, up 0.3% from the week prior but 7.5% lower than the 1,768,000 tons produced during the same week last year.
