The integrated steel industry usually reflects US economic conditions, and the US economy is expected to remain sound in 1998 with a GDP growth rate of 2% to 2.5% and low inflation aiding expansion. Capacity, productivity, and costs are expected to improve in 1998, and there should be some demand growth in the industry. Gains for the industry are expected worldwide for the next three to five years, although these stocks are untimely for 1998.
