Output and capacity utilization year's end to a level substantially below its peak Ratio scale, 1967=100 in 1978 (chart 1). The decline in 1980 was associated with disparate developments among steel-using industries. On the one hand, the output of automobiles, appliances, and construction supplies, all heavy users of steel, fell sharply. These cutbacks reflected the drop in sales and the need to reduce excessive stocks. On the other hand, some factors tended to damp the decline in steel output. Because oil drilling and output of defense equipment and of office and computing equipment remained strong throughout the recession, they continued to consume a substantial amount of steel. At the same time, imports of steel were cut back, thereby lessening some of the impact of reduced demand on the domestic steel industry. Steel inventories also were liquidated during the spring and summer of 1980, when the domestic Federal Reserve series; seasonally adjusted.
