Indian steel price pause lasts 3 days signaling correction - 19 Mar, 2010
Indian steel market for both long and flat products, which had surged by more than 10% since March beginning, seems to be stabilizing as the daily surge has stopped since March 16th and weakness in input material and long products is being seen for 2 consecutive days.

Indian steel buyers have rushed to the market to secure large volumes since March beginning resulting in huge surge in market prices in anticipation of mid term price hike by steel majors. But after March 15th 2010, the fever seems to be receding.

Although Indian steel mills remain buoyant on prices, citing cost pressures, trend in last 2 days signal possibility of some correction, especially for long products.
