When compared to last month, when apparent steel supply was 9,832,498 tons and at a 2.5-year high, July supply decreased by 262,380 tons or 2.7 percent. This was primarily due to a decrease in domestic imports, which fell 256,605 tons or 3.3 percent. Finished imports fell 110,251 tons or 3.7 percent. Total exports declined 104,476 or 11.5 percent over June, which slightly negated the overall decrease in apparent steel supply.

The table below shows year-to-date totals for each statistic over the last five years. Note that these averages are calculated through the first seven months of each year for an equal comparison. As was the case in previous months, the 2017 data points are higher than the 2016 figures, but are mixed compared to 2013-2015 data for all items listed.
