Movement Alert|cleveland-cliffs Rises 5.19% in Regular Trading, US-Canada Trade Breakdown Boosts Domestic Steel Producers

Market Focus08-24

On August 24, cleveland-cliffs rose 5.19% in regular trading, trading at $12.17 per share, with turnover of $21.29 million. The broad steel sector rallied, with Steel Dynamics up 5.97%, Nucor up 4.77%, and Reliance Steel & Aluminum up 3.06%.

The rally follows the collapse of US-Canada trade negotiations on August 22, which triggered 50% tariffs on approximately $20 billion of Canadian imports, including steel products. Canada announced equivalent retaliatory tariffs effective September 8. The higher tariff barrier on Canadian steel imports is widely viewed as favorable for domestic US producers like cleveland-cliffs by reducing competitive pressure from northern imports.

Additionally, the company announced on August 21 a $1 billion investment plan for its Middletown Works facility, backed by $500 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy. The investment plan, combined with improving fundamentals following Q2 results that showed narrowing losses and revenue beating estimates at $5.23 billion, continues to support positive sentiment around the stock.
