Market Focus09-18 00:14

On September 18, cleveland-cliffs rose 6.63% in regular trading, trading at $12.96/share, with turnover of $69.04 million. The stock significantly outperformed peers as the broader steel sector rallied on the back of recently announced trade protection measures and company-specific positive developments.

On the policy front, President Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on imported steel and a 10% tariff on imported aluminum, a move widely seen as favorable for domestic steel producers. The tariff announcement has lifted the entire U.S. steel sector, with peers such as Nucor up 2.27%, ArcelorMittal up 2.76%, and Steel Dynamics up 2.56%. cleveland-cliffs led the sector by a wide margin, likely reflecting a confluence of additional tailwinds.

On September 11, JPMorgan raised its target price on cleveland-cliffs from $11 to $13 while maintaining a Neutral rating. Earlier, the company announced a $1 billion investment plan for its Middletown Works facility, backed by a $500 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, bolstering its green transformation and capacity upgrade initiatives.
