U.S. Steel reported weak earnings results with competition from cheap imported steels negatively impacting pricing and shipments for its U.S. Flat-rolled and European operations. In addition, a decline in oil and gas drilling activity as a result of the decline in oil prices over the course of the past twelve months, adversely impacted the demand for tubular steels and the results of the U.S. Tubular Steel division, as well.
