Cleveland-Cliffs Stock Is Ripping Higher Monday: Here's Why
Jun 2, 2025 8:18 AM

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc ( CLF ) shares are soaring Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to double tariffs on steel.

What Happened: Trump announced on Friday that he would increase steel tariffs from 25% to 50% in an effort to protect the U.S. steel industry.

“Our steel and aluminum industries are coming back like never before. This will be yet another BIG jolt of great news for our wonderful steel and aluminum workers,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

The move has added to global trade tensions. The European Commission said over the weekend that Europe was prepared to retaliate against the tariff hike, per Reuters.

Trump said the 25% tariff increases on steel and aluminum would take effect on Wednesday. Cleveland-Cliffs ( CLF ) shares were up more than 25% on the news. Shares of Steel Dynamics and Nucor were also up about 11% each at last check, according to Benzinga Pro. The VanEck Steel ETF ( SLX ) was up 3.10% at the time of publication.
