The Game’s Still Not Over for US Steel Stocks
President Trump finalized the Section 232 tariffs in March and imposed a 25% tariff on steel and a 10% tariff on aluminum imports. Initially, President Trump indicated that there would be no country exemptions from the tariffs. US steel producers like U.S. Steel Corporation (X), AK Steel (AKS), and Nucor (NUE) rallied smartly as investors expected the Section 232 tariffs to lead to a sustainable fall in US steel imports.
