Steel Strike Lifts Market as New York Firms Back Steel Bonds
In a strong week for markets, big New York financial interests bought steel securities on declines, stabilizing the market amid a continued steel strike. Consolidation rumors between Shelby Steel Tube and United States Steel Company suggest a mutually advantageous merger. Heavy rains eased drought fears in the corn belt, while money for commerce stayed firm around 4.5 percent to 5 percent. The legal reserve drop at New York banks disappointed, but overall liquidity remains ample and speculative demand has slackened. If the strike ends and mills reopen, trade should rise further, though prolonged disruption will curb activity in various sectors.
