Steel (general) industry
Article Abstract:
The US economy remains strong in the late 1990s and this should help the steel industry, although the Asian financial difficulties will have a modest impact. Good demand for steel, expanded capacity, flexible work rules, and rising productivity have all helped the US steel industry recover and keep a high worldwide standing. Long-term steel prospects are good although the industry is not timely in 1998, and investors should delay their selections.

Steel (general) industry
Article Abstract:
The modest growth expected for the US economy in 1997 should help the steel industry maintain its 1996 tonnage levels of about 105 million to 107 million tons, and 1996 shipments of nearly 100 tons. The steel industry is also more competitive with improved cost structures, and profits for 1997 and through 1999-2001 are expected to improve. However, the steel industry is untimely for 1997 and investors must take a long-term view.
