Global raw steel output declined slightly from August to September, and the year-to-date total remains slightly behind the 2015, and yet the September year-over-year output rose slightly more than 2.0% as the world’s major steelmakers continue to try adjusting to weak demand and excess supplies.
The results are drawn from date released by the World Steel Assn., which tracks monthly raw-steel output and capacity utilization rates for 66 countries.
