Trump may issue steel/aluminum tariff on imports at 25%, WSJ says
Trump administration is set to modify duties on imported steel and alumium finished products to help simplify compliance with a 25% tariff, the Wall Street Journal's Gavin Bade and Bob Tita report, citing people with knowledge of the plans. The 25% tariff would apply to the entire value of a finished product containing steel and aluminum and replace the current 50% duty, which only applies to the value of steel or aluminum used in a product, which could effectively raise costs for many imports, the report stated. Publicly traded companies in the Steel space include ArcelorMittal (MT), Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF), Nucor (NUE), Steel Dynamics (STLD) and U.S. Steel (X). Public companies in Aluminum include Alcoa (AA), Century Aluminum (CENX), and Kaiser Aluminum (KALU).
