Nifty Metal News and Updates
The Nifty Metal index's strong performance on September 18, 2025, was driven by several key factors and news events:
-
Positive Global Cues: The index benefited from positive sentiment in global markets, partly driven by a more dovish stance from the US Federal Reserve, which often supports commodity-related sectors.
-
Morgan Stanley's Upgrades: A key driver was Morgan Stanley's decision to adopt a more constructive stance on the steel sector. The brokerage raised its steel price estimates and upgraded several constituent stocks, including JSW Steel and Tata Steel, to "Overweight," signaling confidence in the sector's future.
-
Government Policy and Trade Measures: The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has recommended a three-year safeguard duty on steel imports. This protective measure is expected to support domestic steel companies by making imports more expensive, thereby boosting local demand and prices.
-
Corporate Developments: Individual news also had an impact, such as Jindal Steel's shares gaining after an announcement that its promoter, Naveen Jindal, had made a non-binding bid for a major European steel company. This news contributed to the overall positive sentiment around the Nifty Metal index and the outlook for Indian metal stocks.
