US, EU Join Forces To Tackle China's Steel Surplus, Reshaping Trump-Era Tariffs
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The US and EU are negotiating a partnership to counter China's steel surplus, potentially introducing tariffs targeting imports from China. This is part of the broader Global Arrangement on Sustainable Steel and Aluminum, which aims to settle a dispute that began when former President Trump imposed tariffs on metal imports from Europe. The VanEck Steel ETF (NYSE:SLX), which includes various sectors such as materials, metals, and mining, has shown a 35% return over the past year. Notable US steel producers include POSCO Holdings Inc. (NYSE:PKX), U.S. Steel Corp. (NYSE:X), Nucor Corp. (NYSE:NUE), and Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. (NYSE:RS).
