Pre-Market Analysis on AK Steel, Companhia Siderurgica Nacional, Steel Dynamics, Tenaris, and Ternium
LONDON, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
With construction activity in the U.S. seeing a rebound, the outlook for steel & iron industry has improved significantly. The industry is also expected to benefit as the Chinese economy continues to pick up pace. Over the past decade, China has been a major consumer of steel and iron, however, a slowdown in the world's second largest economy in 2012 had a negative impact on the industry. For companies such as AK Steel Holding Corporation (NYSE: AKS), Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (NYSE: SID), Steel Dynamics Inc. (NASDAQ: STLD), Tenaris S.A. (NYSE: TS), and Ternium S.A. (NYSE: TX), China will be the key growth driver in 2013. On Monday, steel & iron stocks fell sharply, tracking losses in the broad market, which fell amid concerns that Cyprus's bailout agreement would trigger a bank run in troubled Eurozone economies.
