About This Report

  
Abstract:

The recovery in the steel sector appears to have stalled, in our view, and the prospects for further improvements in the credit metrics of Luxembourg-registered steel group ArcelorMittal are less likely. We are lowering our long-term corporate credit ratings on ArcelorMittal and subsidiaries to 'BBB-' from 'BBB'. We are affirming our short-term ratings on ArcelorMittal at 'A-3'. The stable outlook reflects our opinion that ArcelorMittal's financial risk profile will not deteriorate further as steel markets have stabilized. On Nov. 2, 2010, Standard&Poor's Ratings Services lowered to 'BBB-' from 'BBB' its long-term corporate credit and issue ratings on Luxembourg-registered steel group ArcelorMittal and its guaranteed subsidiaries. At the same time, we affirmed the short-term ratings on ArcelorMittal at 'A-3'.
