According to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), US domestic raw steel production reached 1.851 million net tons for the week ending June 20, 2026, representing a 3.3% year-on-year increase compared to the 1.792 million net tons produced in the same week of 2025, though experiencing a marginal 0.2% week-on-week decline from 1.854 million net tons. The capability utilization rate stood at 80.2%, up from 79.8% last year but slightly down from 80.3% in the preceding week. Adjusted year-to-date production through June 20, 2026, totaled 44.395 million net tons with an average capability utilization rate of 78.6%, marking a robust 6.1% increase from the 41.828 million net tons and 76.8% utilization recorded during the same period in 2025. Geographically, the Southern district led production with 833,000 net tons, followed by the Great Lakes (496,000 net tons), the Midwest (318,000 net tons), the North East (129,000 net tons), and the Western region (75,000 net tons). The market impact points to a solid stabilization in domestic steel output; the consistent capability utilization above 80% and strong year-to-date growth reflect that North American mills are successfully sustaining production volumes to meet steady regional consumption amid a highly protected trade environment.

Tang Eng Iron Works distributed approximately 159,000 tons of stainless steel products in 2025, down 13.1% YoY and falling short of its 216,000-ton budget target. Cold-rolled and hot-rolled output declined 14.9% YoY to around 159,000 tons, despite raw steel production rising 6.3% to 31,285 tons. The company attributed the declines to US tariffs, exchange rate fluctuations, geopolitical tensions, and oversupply from cheap Chinese steel exports. To improve performance, Tang Eng plans to stabilize core business profits, leverage land assets for non-operating income, and introduce sustainability programs tied to its core operations.

According to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), US domestic raw steel production reached 1.872 million net tons for the week ending May 30, 2026, representing an 8.8% year-on-year increase and a 0.1% week-on-week rise. The capability utilization rate stood at 81.1%, up from 76.6% in the same period last year and slightly above the 81.0% recorded in the previous week. Adjusted year-to-date production through May 30, 2026, totaled 38.925 million net tons with an average capability utilization rate of 78.6%, marking a 6.8% increase from the 36.461 million net tons produced during the same period in 2025. Geographically, the Southern district led production with 848,000 net tons, followed by the Great Lakes (495,000 net tons) and the Midwest (321,000 net tons). The market impact indicates that the sustained growth in US steel output and robust utilization rates reflect a resilient domestic manufacturing sector; supported by localized demand and protective trade measures, North American mills continue to maintain steady supply levels despite broader global market stagnation.

【SMM Steel】US raw steel output reached 1.872 million net tons for the week ending May 30, 2026, at 81.1% capability utilization, up 8.8% y-o-y from 1.72 million net tons and up 0.1% w-o-w.
