Today, the stock is trading lower by 0.41 cents to $28.42 a share. This stock will have some daily chart support around the $27.50, and $26.00 levels. Short term traders can watch for intra-day support around the $28.00, and $27.50 levels.

Some leading steel stocks that are coming under selling pressure today include Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE), Steel Dynamics Inc (NYSE:STLD), and AK steel Holdings Corp (NYSE:AKS). All of these stocks could have further downside in the near term according to pattern on the daily charts at this time.
