Sharmila Joshi of Prabhudas Liladher told CNBC -TV18 that for steel the story has been is in favour of a company which has control over raw material prices whether it is in terms of iron ore or whether its coal.

 

She further added, "We have seen in all the integrated plays is really doing much better with the kind of news flow that you are getting now that the global demand for steel is likely to stay strong. That just kind of reflects kind of stock movement that we have seen, not just the midcaps I would say but even in the frontline stocks. So more than base metals steel would continue to be a favorite play whether it is a Tata Steel or whether it's some of maybe like a  Welspun Gujarat."

 

Steel stocks are in limelight with steel prices expected to remain firm going ahead supported by strong domestic demand. Steel consumption is expected to be higher globally with good support coming in from the BRIC countries. By curbing its exports, China has also helped steel prices to remain firm. Exports from China were down over 37% in the month of September.
