The Nifty Metal index dropped 2% on Monday amid global demand growth worries. Heavy selling in SAIL, Vedanta, Hindalco, JSW Steel, and Jindal Steel also led the index’s fall.
The fall could be attributed to investors’ concerns regarding the US economic growth amid weak manufacturing data. The IHS Markit flash purchasing managers index for manufacturing of US in March plunged to a 21-month low, while the services PMI weakened to a two-month low. The flash manufacturing PMI fell to 52.5 from 53 in February, while the services PMI fell to 54.8 from 56. Further, growing worries about an impending US recession, which kept equity in global markets down, fueled the investors’ worries.
Shares of SAIL, Vedanta, and Hindalco, which dropped 3% each, were leading the index’s fall. Shares of Jindal Steel, JSW Steel, Jindal Stainless (Hisar), NMDC, Hindustan Zinc, MOIL, and Tata Steel also contributed to the fall, declining 2% each. Shares of Welspun Corp, Hindustan Copper, and NALCO also fell 1% each.
However, shares of APL Apollo cushioned the sharp fall in the index by rising 3%.
