Japan's Nippon Steel to Acquire U.S. Steel for $14.9 BillionJapan's Nippon Steel clinched a deal on Monday to buy U.S. Steel ($X.) for $14.9 billion in cash, prevailing in an auction for the 122-year-old iconic steelmaker over rivals.
The deal marks the latest step in a gradual decline for the iconic 122-year old company, which was once the largest company on the planet. It was one of the first major conglomerates and a symbol of American industrial might.
But it is no longer even the largest US steelmaker, having been surpassed by Nucor Steel years ago.
Earlier this summer the United Steelworkers union vowed to only support a proposed offer by another unionized American steel company, Cleveland Cliffs, to buy US Steel, in a cash and stock deal then valued at $32.53 a share, or 40% less than Nippon’s all cash offer. The US Steel board rejected that offer and started considering other bids.
US Steel’s statement said that Nippon Steel has a strong track record of safety in the workplace and working collaboratively with unions, that all union contracts will remain in place and that Nippon Steel is committed to maintaining these relationships uninterrupted.
Technical Analysis
U.S. Steel (NYSE: NYSE:X ) has since reacted to the news of the buyout offer from Nippon Steel surging to about 26% today as of the time of writing, with the stock trading above all its Moving Averages. United States Steel has also broken the rising trend up in the medium long term.

Tata Steel--Buy zone @112I am sharing the important levels of Support and Resistance. These levels play a crucial role in trading decisions, as they act as reliable markers of price movements.
------>>Support levels are price points where an asset tends to find buying interest, preventing it from falling further.

Cleveland-Cliffs: Bearish Dragon Below Resistance and 200 SMACLF has confirmed the breakdown of a Bearish Dragon and has tested the 200 SMA and the Weekly Support Resistance Level of $14.37 as Resistance again.
Now I am going to be looking for CLF to come down to make a 0.886 retrace from here, which should take it down to about $6.5 as it completes the Bearish Dragon

ThyssenKrupp AG bullish scenario:The technical figure Triangle can be found in the daily chart in the German company ThyssenKrupp AG (TKA.de). ThyssenKrupp AG is a German multinational conglomerate with focus on industrial engineering and steel production. The company claims to be one of the world's largest steel producers; it was ranked tenth-largest worldwide by revenue in 2015. It is divided into 670 subsidiaries worldwide. In addition to steel production, ThyssenKrupp's products range from machines and industrial services to high-speed trains, elevators, and shipbuilding. Subsidiary ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems also manufactures frigates, corvettes, and submarines for the German and foreign navies. The Triangle broke through the resistance line on 03/09/2022, if the price holds above this level, you can have a possible bullish price movement with a forecast for the next 20 days towards 6.964 EUR. Your stop-loss order, according to experts, should be placed at 5.374 EUR if you decide to enter this position.
Company debt is a non-issue for ThyssenKrupp. The company has over €8B in available liquidity of which €6.5B is in Cash and equivalents, which is almost 2X the company's total liabilities gross of leases. What's more, these maturities are well-laddered going beyond 2025-2026.
Fundamentally speaking, there are no immediate cash dangers to the company. Yet the chaotic nature of the past 10 years makes the company's low credit rating completely understandable. Still, ThyssenKrupp is a leading material processor and service provider across the western world.
