NCDEX steel long October contract is trading at Rs 29560, down Rs 70 for the day.
-Steel is expected to remain weak until the real estate sector gets a boost. This would require money flows into the sector and lower interest rates from the RBI, both of which look unlikely to happen in the short term.
-JSW Steel has meanwhile stated that its Vijaynagar plant in Karnataka may be shut down if the Iron Ore supply issue is not sorted out. The Vijaynagar plant produces 10 million tonnes out of JSW’s total production capacity of 14.3 million tonnes.
