Tech Stocks Surge, Steelmakers Jump On Trump's 25% Tariffs, Copper Hits 9-Month Highs: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Steel and aluminum stocks jumped Monday in premarket trading after President Donald Trump said he would reintroduce 25% tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/metals">on imported metals</a>.
The move aims to reshape global trade <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">and revive domestic production</a>, but also reignites trade tensions that defined his first term.
What Happened: In a statement aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump said the tariffs would apply to all countries, without specifying when they would take effect.
Markets reacted swiftly, with shares of major American steel and aluminum producers rallying ahead of the opening bell
Steel and aluminum stocks soared in premarket trading as investors quickly priced in the potential benefits for domestic metal producers.
Century Aluminum Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CENX#NASDAQ">CENX</a>) gained 10.4%, Nucor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) climbed 7.2%, and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) rose 7%. Alcoa Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>) up 5.2% and Kaiser Aluminum Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NASDAQ">KALU</a>) gained 2.5%. 
United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>), which has faced pressure from foreign competition, advanced 4.3%, while Steel Dynamics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) added 5.4%.

Why It Matters: Tariffs have major implications for U.S. manufacturers, foreign exporters, and global supply chains. They also risk retaliatory measures from key U.S. trading partners.
Trump first imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum in 2018, citing national security concerns. Those duties—25% on steel and 10% on aluminum—aimed to protect domestic manufacturers from what he called unfair competition, particularly from China.
The policy sparked backlash from U.S. allies, including Canada and Mexico, but also drove up prices, boosting profits for domestic producers.
U.S. Census Bureau data shows that in 2024, the U.S. imported: 
<ul>
<li>$11.2 billion worth of steel from Canada; $9.5 billion worth of aluminum</li>
<li>$6.5 billion from Mexico; just under $1 billion in aluminum from Mexico.</li>
</ul>
&#8220;Canadian steel and aluminum support key industries in the U.S., from defense and shipbuilding to auto manufacturing,&#8221; Canadian Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne posted on X, adding that &#8220;We will continue to defend Canada, our workers and our industries.&#8221;
European steelmakers warned that tariffs could push excess global supply toward their markets.
&#8220;The measures would lead to further volume diversions to Europe, increasing import pressure due to overcapacity from China and other countries,&#8221; said Olaf Reinecke, CEO of German steelmaker Salzgitter.
What&#8217;s Next: Trump indicated plans to introduce reciprocal tariffs in the coming days, matching rates imposed by other countries on U.S. goods. These measures could take effect almost immediately.
&#8220;After the back and forth on Canada and Mexico tariffs, markets have distanced themselves from trading any tariff announcements,&#8221; said Robin Brooks, economist at the Brookings Institution. &#8220;Tariffs are not priced.&#8221;

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Weigh In On 3 Materials Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/china-cut-or-cancel-export-tax-rebates-products-including-aluminium-copper-2024-11-15/">https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/china-cut-or-cancel-export-tax-rebates-products-including-aluminium-copper-2024-11-15/</a>
&nbsp;
China's finance ministry said on Friday it would reduce or cancel export tax rebates for a wide range of commodities and other products, effective Dec. 1.
The country will reduce the export tax rebate rate for some refined oil products, photovoltaics, batteries, and certain non-metallic mineral products from 13% to 9%.
It will also cancel the rebate for aluminum and copper products and chemically modified animal, plant, or microbial oils and fats.
The announcement triggered a jump in aluminium prices on the London Metal Exchange as traders anticipated it may curb a heavy flow of Chinese aluminium abroad.
The news also contributed to a sharp rise in U.S. soyoil prices as it appeared Chinese used cooking oil would be covered by the changes.
Chinese shipments of used cooking oil to the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/trump-trade-policy-seen-wild-card-us-soybean-farmers-opportunity-crushers-2024-11-13/">United States</a> and Europe for use in biofuel have challenged locally produced feedstocks like soyoil.
China's used cooking oil exports typically fall under the customs category of chemically modified animal, plant, or microbial oils and fats category, for which export rebates will be scrapped.

As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">Election Week 2024</a> is upon us, Wall Street is geared up for sector-specific shakeups, with JPMorgan's Bill Peterson spotlighting a decisive split in potential stock moves.
With a Democratic win likely to power up the clean energy sector and a Donald Trump victory poised to boost steel, the stakes are high for investors in metals, mining and clean tech.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Harris Win: Green Light For Clean Tech Rally?</h1>
Should Vice-President Kamala Harris take the White House, expect a boost across clean tech stocks, especially those linked to electric vehicles (EV) and hydrogen.
Peterson points to EVgo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>), ChargePoint Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHPT#NASDAQ">CHPT</a>) and lithium players like Lithium Americas Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAC#NYSE">LAC</a>) and Piedmont Lithium Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLL#NASDAQ">PLL</a>) as likely to benefit from sustained clean energy initiatives.
Stocks like Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) could also rally, riding on investor confidence that government spending won't dry up for sectors heavily backed by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Win: Steel's Comeback With A Dose Of Protectionism</h1>
A Trump victory could be a bullish setup for the steel sector, especially for domestic players like Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>), and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>), which would benefit from protectionist policies supporting U.S. steel pricing.
Peterson highlights that Trump's stance against the proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel Corp (OTCPK: NISTF) could keep the spotlight on domestic operators, while Trade Expansion Act Section 232 tariffs could make U.S. steel prices attractive.
Kaiser Aluminum Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NASDAQ">KALU</a>) stands to gain over Constellium SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSTM#NYSE">CSTM</a>) if more tariffs come into play, thanks to Kaiser&#8217;s U.S. footprint.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rare Earths &amp; Base Metals: Supply Security Takes The Stage</h1>
Regardless of the outcome, Western supply chain security remains a hot-button issue, favorably positioning rare earth and graphite players like MP Materials Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) and GrafTech International Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAF#NYSE">EAF</a>).
For base metals, names like Alcoa Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>) and Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) may see an impact from intensified China tariffs, with pricing ripple effects dependent on global stimulus responses.
With the election outcome set to shape market dynamics, these sectors have distinct paths forward. For now, it's a wait-and-see game for investors in metals, mining, and clean tech.

Insights Ahead: Kaiser Aluminum's Quarterly Earnings

As every investor knows &#8212; a stock is cheap, and in decline, for a reason.
Over the last 12 months, the NYSE-listed shares of global aluminum giant Constellium (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSTM#NYSE">CSTM</a>) are down 12%, while rivals like Alcoa Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>), Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NASDAQ">KALU</a>) and Century Aluminum Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CENX#NASDAQ">CENX</a>) are all up. Alcoa is up 55%. CENX is like crypto aluminum, up 155.8% in a year.
Its price-to-earnings ratio is not bad at 12x, and it has a new <a href="https://www.asminternational.org/constelliums-muscle-shoals-facility-receives-department-of-defense-grant-to-increase-casting-capacity/">$65 million investment</a> in a new aluminum plant being built in Alabama, though that is not expected to be operational until the second half of 2026.
What's the problem?
As some in Washington might say – it's Russia's fault.
That's sort of true. Constellium makes aluminum products that it casts from aluminum sheets, some of which it <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/constellium-keep-buying-aluminium-rusal-executive-2022-09-15/">imports</a> from Russian-based aluminum company Rusal. Prior to the war in Ukraine, the Europeans loved Russian aluminum – especially Rusal aluminum – because a lot of it is made in factories powered by a hydroelectric dam. This means it is deemed <a href="https://www.alcircle.com/press-release/rusal-achieves-100-green-aluminium-production-111484">low-carbon friendly aluminum</a>. But Rusal aluminum is facing restrictions and that means Constellium is now paying more for primary aluminum than a year ago and is focusing more on European and U.S. production. European producers are in worse shape as they have reduced primary aluminum production by about 30% over the last five years, likely due to environmental regulations.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Constellation: A Victim of Geopolitics</h3>
In April, the U.S. Government imposed a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-takes-action-targeting-russian-aluminum-copper-nickel-2024-04-12/">200% tariff on aluminum</a> products if they contained aluminum sourced from Russia, even if the finished product was made elsewhere. Since March 10, 2023, Washington already had increased tariffs on Russian aluminum products up from the Sectio to 200%, up from the roughly 25% in the Section 232 aluminum tariffs imposed globally by then-president Trump in 2018. The supply of Russian aluminum to the United States is currently zero.
U.S. importers have turned to the Middle East for alternatives, <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/aluminum">increasing prices</a> by an additional $200 per ton from those sources due to U.S. demand.
Europe is <a href="https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/10/17/europes-tough-choice-sanction-aluminium-or-proceed-with-climate-goals">thinking of doing the same</a>. This weighs heavily on Constellium shares for the near term, at least until the European Commission decides on what to do about Russian aluminum imports.
A March 4 <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/europe-battle-with-us-aluminium-if-eu-opts-russian-ban-2024-03-04/">article</a> by Reuters put it this way: "The loss of Russian metal would leave Europe with a shortfall of around 500,000 tons. Middle Eastern suppliers will not be able to fully substitute Europe&#8217;s shortfall quickly."
A small group of EU countries keep pushing for <a href="https://www.mining.com/web/aluminum-group-steps-up-call-on-eu-to-bar-imports-of-the-russian-metal/">tougher measures</a> against Russia, led by Poland and the Baltic states. They want U.S.-style restrictions on aluminum imports. Some EU economies are blocking this move, most likely Germany and France, which rely on imports at least in part to manufacture cars and aircraft.
Restrictions on aluminum could pose a threat to domestic industries, which are already losing out in competitiveness to Asia, according to Chris Weafer, the Chief Executive of Macro-Advisory , an investment research firm and consultancy focused on emerging markets with offices in Washington DC. The EU relies on imports for over 90% of its aluminum needs, with 8-9% coming from Russia.
"The EU is walking a tightrope between the need to increase the sanctions pressure on Russia while at the same time…keeping its own economy and domestic enterprises afloat," Weafer wrote in an <a href="https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/10/17/europes-tough-choice-sanction-aluminium-or-proceed-with-climate-goals">op-ed</a> published by Euro News on Oct. 17.
If there are new sanctions, Weafer said in a report to clients last month, there will be some further Russian imports this year because of residual contracts. But after that, Russian imports "eventually fall to zero for the foreseeable future," he wrote. If there are no sanctions – which is still possible if big industry in Western Europe get their way – then Weafer thinks Russian imports will fall gradually as more European companies will either choose domestic production or be pressured to import from elsewhere.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings Call To Reveal More This Week</h3>
Constellium will have their earnings call on Wednesday, Oct. 23 before the market opens.
Investors are likely to wait and see what Europe does about Russia. Constellium's long-term prospects, meanwhile, seem okay.
The company's stock survived the Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by the Trump administration in March 2018. Constellium's share price ended the month at $10.85 per share and hit $12.15 per share in May 2018 despite the higher prices associated at the time with the tariff. Constellium today trades closer to $15.
Alcoa stocks rose last week after an earnings beat. JP Morgan <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/alcoa-analysts-increase-their-forecasts-after-upbeat-earnings/ar-AA1ss6dg">raised</a> its price target from $36 to $39.&nbsp; That call is too late for investors now. Alcoa has already surpassed that target and was trading over $41 on Friday.
Constellium could see similar fortunes.
Aluminum is one of the metals required for the energy grid and for new EVs and solar. Global demand is set to reach 85 million tons in 2030, up from 66 million tons in 2020. Given tariffs as they are now, it is clear the U.S. sees aluminum as a critical sector worth protecting, so Constellium's Alabama project should find plenty of demand locally. Longer-term buyers may be rewarded. For now, out of the four big aluminum companies – AA, KALU and CENX – CSTM is the worst performer. Still, it has a better profit margin than Alcoa at 2.35% versus negative 5.14% for Alcoa and Alcoa just got an upgrade.
