* On Tuesday, 9/11 senior analyst Claudio Freitas from Zacks named Companhia Siderurgica Nacional as a stock with that he has a Buy recommendation on. “Despite the risk of a recession in the U.S., I believe some basic material and commodities producers are trading at very attractive valuations, thus most of the risk is already reflected in the current price of those stocks.
