$100 Invested In Cheniere Energy 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Exxon Mobil shares are trading higher after Truist Securities raised its price target on the stock from $117 to $119.

<p><strong>United States Steel Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) stock is trading higher Monday following a report that <strong>Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) will partner with <strong>Nucor Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) to make a potential bid to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/01/42947291/the-offer-would-be-in-the-high-30sshare-cleveland-cliffs-would-purchase-all-of-u-s-steel-for-all-cas">acquire the company</a>.</p>
<p><strong>The Details:</strong> According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/13/cleveland-cliffs-partnering-with-nucor-on-potential-bid-for-us-steel-sources-say.html">CNBC</a>, Cleveland-Cliffs plans to make a bid to acquire U.S. Steel in an all-cash deal, valuing the company at over $30 per share. As part of the planned deal, U.S. Steel&#8217;s headquarters would remain in Pittsburgh and Cleveland-Cliffs would subsequently sell the <strong>Big River Steel</strong> subsidiary to Nucor.</p>
<p>Japanese-owned <strong>Nippon </strong>proposed a $14.9-billion takeover deal at the end of 2023, under which the company would purchase U.S. Steel for $55 per share. The deal was blocked by the Biden administration following a review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).</p>
<p>President<strong> Joe Biden </strong>has made it clear that he believes U.S. Steel should remain American-owned. He has also cited national security concerns and emphasized the importance of a strong domestic steel industry.</p>
<p>Nippon is now suing the Biden administration over the decision to block the acquisition. Additionally, Nippon and U.S. Steel have filed lawsuits against Cleveland-Cliffs, its CEO <strong>Lourenco Goncalves</strong> and United Steelworkers President <strong>David McCall</strong>, accusing them of conspiring to prevent the deal.</p>
<p>Cleveland-Cliffs is reportedly considering making an offer in the high $30s per share. U.S. Steel shares jumped more than 8% on the news before pulling back slightly. </p>

What's Going On With United States Steel Shares Monday?

<p>Vice President-elect <strong>JD Vance</strong> <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/jd-vance-trump-process-rectify-unfair-jan-6-prosecutions">told</a> Fox News Sunday that those who protested peacefully on Jan. 6, 2021, should be pardoned, but, "If you committed violence on that day, obviously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/01/19049660/washington-dc-descends-into-anarchy-as-trump-supporters-storm-us-capitol-delay-electoral-college-vot">you shouldn't be pardoned</a>." </p>
<p>Vance&#8217;s comments come in sharp contrast to President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong>&#8216;s and have some people confused and angry.</p>
<p>Trump has repeatedly promised to free the more than 460 jailed Jan. 6 participants on his first day in office. Last week during a <a href="http://although he didn't answer a question about whether that would include those who attacked police.">press conference</a> at his Mar-a-Lago residence, Trump vowed that he'd be "making major pardons," although he didn't reply when asked if that would include those who attacked police. On Jan. 6, 2021, 140 police officers were injured and five were killed.</p>
<p>Vance did say "there's a little bit of a gray area there" regarding those who committed violent acts. "We're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law."</p>
<p><strong>See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42936887/trumps-treasury-pick-scott-bessent-reveals-up-to-500000-bitcoin-stake-via-blackrocks-etf">Trump&#8217;s Treasury Pick Scott Bessent Reveals Up To $500,000 Bitcoin Stake, $521M In Assets</a></strong></p>
<p>Nevertheless, Vance's comments sent shock waves through the insurrectionist community and anger quickly ensued.</p>
<p>An X account representing <strong>Jake Lang</strong>, who is awaiting trial on charges that he beat police officers at the Capitol, addressed Vance, <a href="https://x.com/JakeLangJ6/status/1878528288043549148">saying</a> the "J6 Hostages families have been CRUSHED by the mixed messaging coming from the White House" on the pardon process.</p>
<p>"We have been waiting 4 years for this moment, &amp; now it seems like your Administration is going to possibly leave some of our brothers behind; to rot away in the gulag for the next 10 to 20 years."</p>
<p>Others piled on with angry tweets directed at Vance. "Let's make this really easy for @JD Vance The government entrapped J6 protesters with dereliction of preparedness, misconduct by police, &amp; undercover agitators. All hostages currently in prison were the victims &amp; must be pardoned."</p>
<p>The hue and cry became loud enough to compel Vance to <a href="https://x.com/JDVance/status/1878461134589575408">respond on X,</a> saying that he donated to the J6 political prisoner fund when he was running for Senate in Ohio and that he's been "defending these guys for years." He said Trump will look at each case, adding that his own comments were not "some walkback."</p>

<p>Salarius Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLRX#NASDAQ">SLRX</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42942645/salarius-pharmaceuticals-and-decoy-therapeutics-announce-definitive-merger-agreement">announced a merger agreement</a> with Decoy Therapeutics, a privately held biopharmaceutical company. </p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> Under the agreement, Decoy Therapeutics will merge with a wholly owned subsidiary of Salarius Pharmaceuticals to form a new entity called Decoy Therapeutics. Following the merger and a shareholder vote to convert preferred shares into common stock, Decoy investors are expected to hold approximately 86% of the combined company, with Salarius shareholders retaining about 14%.</p>
<p>Decoy's platform centers on developing peptide conjugate therapeutics aimed at treating respiratory viruses and cancer. The combined company plans to fast-track clinical development by leveraging Decoy's innovative pipeline and approximately $7 million in non-dilutive funding from sources like the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and other partners.</p>

<p>The merger is expected to enable progress in several areas over the next 12 months. Decoy plans to file an Investigational New Drug application with the FDA for its lead pan-coronavirus antiviral and advance programs targeting flu, COVID-19 and gastrointestinal cancers. Salarius also expects updates from its MD Anderson clinical trial involving patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.</p>
