Deutsche Bank downgraded ArcelorMittal (MT) to Hold from Buy with a price target of $31, down from $34. The stock has recovered after the cyclical crunch last year, supported by the removal of some overhang risks – including the Kazakhstan mill divestment post the severe accident and possible involvement in the U.S. Steel (X) bidding process – as well as the rebound in the cycle and intensified share buybacks, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm adds however that the demand rebound in many core markets remains soft, as Chinese data remains weak and continues to weigh on steel and iron ore markets.
