Industry insiders shrug off steel price concerns

Article Abstract:

Steel producers in the country are experiencing difficulties due to the high volume of imported steel in 1996. Pricing forecasts for the industry have also changed, causing steel stocks to be left behind in the market. On the other hand, while analysts predict the decline of steel prices in the future, Wall Street's opinion over the pricing and investment opportunities for the industry remains negative. However, industrialists are optimistic in the investment opportunities in their own company shares despite the disagreement between the steel industry and Wall Street.
