U.S. Steel Price, Stocks Diverge -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-27

2238 GMT - The price of steel in the U.S. and shares in the companies that produce it are diverging. Shares of major U.S. producers have fallen by roughly 15% on average over the past month, while U.S. hot rolled coil prices have continued to rise, says Jefferies analyst Christopher LaFemina. "The takeaway here is that U.S. steel share prices . . . have begun to reflect some sort of slowdown in economic growth despite positive quarterly earnings momentum," LaFemina says. He says stocks could be a leading indicator of how steel prices might fare should the Middle East conflict continue, hurting global growth. "But it could also imply good value in these equities if the war de-escalates and the impact of higher energy prices on global economic growth is limited." (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
