It is reported that the domestic steel mills in Europe are under tremendous pressure to sell and this was amply reflected by the slide in most of the products across Italy, Spain and Germany.
There is a tussle between the steel mills and stockiest/service centers to entice end buyers resulting in a situation when buyers want to buy only what is essentially needed expecting prices to come down further.
The effect of deal on European debt crisis last week is yet to be seen and this week shall be crucial to gauge the change in sentiments, if any.
