The favourable trends in the motor vehicles, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering sectors and the slight upturn in activity which is expected in the building sector will not, however, be sufficient to revive the steel market in the early month of 1987, since there are a number of unfavourable factors which offset these favourable factors : (a) the decline in export markets, (b) uncertainty about the level of stocks held by consumers and dealers, (c) the seasonal effect of the winter months, (d) the depression on the petroleum products market and (e) the attractiveness of the Community market to non-mem- ber countries.
