4. Outlook

According to ICICI Securities, "flats appear to be more susceptible to longs owing to weak demand, limited export opportunities and rising production of domestic steel companies. While global steel prices will get a leg-up owing to Vale cutting its iron ore production guidance, we believe the substantial gap between domestic prices and landed cost of imports might keep flats prices under pressure. We maintain our cautious view on the ferrous space with JSPL (TP: Rs605) and Shyam Metalics (TP: Rs425) as our key picks owing to their long-heavy product portfolios."
