India–US Trade Tensions Rise Over Steel and Auto Tariffs NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
ArcelorMittal, one of the world’s largest steelmakers, has reported stronger-than-expected quarterly profits, driven by supportive European Union trade policies and signs of demand recovery across key markets. The company’s better-than-forecast performance signals renewed strength in the steel sector after a prolonged period of global uncertainty.
According to its latest financials, ArcelorMittal saw increased margins and stabilized pricing amid improved sentiment in the European market. Analysts attribute the performance boost partly to EU-level trade protections, including tariffs on cheap imports, which have helped domestic producers regain competitive ground.The steel giant also pointed to early signs of demand stabilization in construction, automotive, and infrastructure sectors, further brightening its outlook for 2026. With Europe being a critical region for the company, ongoing trade support is expected to provide a steady foundation for future growth.
ArcelorMittal’s results have bolstered investor confidence and suggest the broader steel industry may be on the cusp of recovery, especially if macroeconomic conditions improve and energy costs stabilize.
