일반적으로 금 가격이 폭등할 때, 그에 따른 경제적 함의는 스틸 다이내믹스(NASDAQ:STLD)와 같은 기업들이 어려움을 겪을 수 있음을 시사한다. 금 수요의 급증은 경기 순환주 및 산업 관련 자산에서 안전 자산으로의 이동을 나타낸다. 금은 수익이나 배당금을 생성하지 않으므로 위험 선호 행동에 대한 비판이 될 수 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 현재의 비정상적인 상황은 STLD 주식에 대해 더 가까이—그리고 다소 낙관적으로—검토할 필요가 있다.

Detroit&#8217;s automakers are hitting speed bumps &#8211; and they're made of steel. Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) tumbled 3.7% and 4.1% respectively on the day the U.S. announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708977/trump-doubles-steel-tariffs-to-50-saying-it-will-secure-american-jobs-backs-us-steels-takeover-by-japans-nippon">50% tariffs on imported steel</a> and aluminum. 
The market didn't wait for earnings calls &#8211; investors immediately priced in the hit to margins.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steel Tariffs Could Add $200-$400 To Per Vehicle Cost</h2>
Tracy Shuchart of NinjaTrader says these fears are justified. &#8220;Steel and aluminum represent 15–20% of total vehicle production costs,&#8221; she said in exclusive insights shared with Benzinga over an email interview. &#8220;For a typical mid-size sedan, we&#8217;re looking at roughly $800–$1,200 in steel content per vehicle. A 50% tariff could easily add $200–400 to vehicle production costs.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Ford, GM Investors Should Brace For Impact?</h2>
Ford and GM are particularly vulnerable because of their long-term supply agreements with Canadian steelmakers, who now face full tariffs. While domestic producers celebrate, automakers will need to renegotiate contracts, seek alternative supply chains, or pass costs onto consumers &#8211; a tough sell in an already competitive EV market.
&#8220;Ford and GM are particularly vulnerable because they source significant steel volumes from Canada under existing supply agreements that will now face the full tariff impact,&#8221; Shuchart said.
Investors who believe these pressures may persist might consider short-term hedges or adding exposure to raw material producers like Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) and Steel Dynamics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) instead.
For ETF-watchers, the Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAVE#NYSE">PAVE</a>) offers a blend of industrials and materials exposure that may benefit from rising domestic steel prices.
With tariff-driven cost inflation now a reality, automakers will need to prove they can protect margins without stalling innovation. Until then, the road ahead looks steep.

EXCLUSIVE: Ford, GM Just Hit A Tariff Wall - Will Margins Crumple On Cost Pressures?

Steel tariffs are back with a bang, and investors are already positioning for the winners. As the U.S. slaps a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708977/trump-doubles-steel-tariffs-to-50-saying-it-will-secure-american-jobs-backs-us-steels-takeover-by-japans-nippon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">prohibitive 50% tariff</a> on imported steel and aluminum, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>), Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) and Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) are emerging as the early champions of this protectionist pivot.
According to Tracy Shuchart, senior economist at NinjaTrader, the tariff surge is a short-term policy maneuver, but it brings long-term opportunities for domestic producers. &#8220;At 50%, these tariffs are reaching what economists call prohibitive levels—they&#8217;re so high that they fundamentally distort market mechanisms rather than simply providing competitive protection,&#8221; Shuchart said in an exclusive email interview with Benzinga.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs To Benefit Cleveland, Nucor, Steel Dynamics&#8217; Margins</h2>
Cleveland-Cliffs saw a 25.2% gain in early trading after the announcement, not just on sentiment but solid fundamentals. The company is heavily exposed to imports, particularly in flat-rolled products, and now has room to raise prices by $200-300 per ton while still staying competitive. 
&#8220;Cliffs can immediately implement price increases of $200–300 per ton while still remaining competitive,&#8221; Shuchart added.
Nucor, with its low-cost electric arc furnace model, is positioned to expand its already solid margins. Its scale, cost discipline, and flexible mini-mill network could boost EBITDA margins to the 18–20% range over the next 12–18 months. &#8220;With import competition effectively removed, Nucor can maintain its cost advantage while capturing significantly higher margins,&#8221; Shuchart said.
Meanwhile, Steel Dynamics, which had ventured into aluminum production, now looks prophetic. With both steel and aluminum tariffs rising, Steel Dynamics&#8217;s dual exposure could unlock a new wave of pricing power. &#8220;This diversification strategy, which seemed risky 18 months ago, now looks prescient,&#8221; said Shuchart.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broad-Market Beneficiaries</h2>
Investors looking to ride the broader wave may also consider steel-focused ETFs like the VanEck Steel ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLX#NYSE">SLX</a>) or the SPDR S&amp;P Metals and Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>), which offer diversified exposure to these names.
While these gains are real, Shuchart cautions this is not a forever story. Structural supply gaps and midterm politics could force a policy rethink by late 2025. 
But for now, domestic steel stocks stand to gain, and this trio is leading the charge.

EXCLUSIVE: Tariff Titans - Why Cleveland-Cliffs, Nucor, Steel Dynamics Could Outmuscle The Competition

In the current session, the stock is trading at $136.24, after a 10.70% spike. Over the past month, Steel Dynamics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) stock increased by 3.46%, and in the past year, by 6.66%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748901617_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Steel Dynamics P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Steel Dynamics has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 31.0 of the Metals &amp; Mining industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748901617_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Intraday Update

Price Over Earnings Overview: Steel Dynamics

After delivering its strongest monthly performance since November 2023, Wall Street entered June on a cautious note, with mounting geopolitical tensions and new trade tariffs clouding investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/45722678/magnificent-seven-closed-a-blockbuster-may-added-nearly-2-trillion-in-market-value">appetite for risk assets.</a>
President Donald Trump announced over the weekend that tariffs on steel and aluminum imports will be doubled to 50% starting June 4, reigniting trade tensions with China. Beijing responded by accusing Washington of seriously violating trade agreements and pledged to take strong measures to defend its interests.
The renewed dispute ignited a rally in precious and industrial metals. Aluminium prices climbed 2.5%, copper gained 3%, and silver soared 4.6%, marking its best daily performance since September 2024. Gold also caught a bid, rising 2.8% to $3,327 per ounce, its highest level since May 8, as investors sought safe-haven protection.
Russia's war with Ukraine escalated over the weekend, with Ukrainian drones striking airfields deep inside eastern Siberia. Moscow responded with one of its largest missile and drone barrages yet.
The geopolitical flare-up sent oil prices up 3.5% to $64 a barrel, shrugging off OPEC+'s announcement of a 411,000 barrels-per-day production hike starting in July.
Meanwhile, U.S. natural gas prices spiked 7% as traders priced in a potential increase in LNG demand from Europe.
On the macro front, the Institute for Supply Management's Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) revealed a deeper-than-expected contraction in May. Price pressures remained elevated, hovering near their highest<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45724821/trumps-manufacturing-narrative-weakens-as-may-data-shows-sharper-contraction-stubborn-inflation"> levels in three years.</a>
Selling pressure resumed in the Treasury market, with the yield on the 30-year U.S. bond rising 6 basis points to 4.98%. 
The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 1.5%, reflecting losses in long-duration bonds. At the same time, the U.S. dollar softened, with the dollar index falling to 98.7, its lowest in over a week.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell 1.3% to $104,000, continuing its pullback from recent highs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Pitch Sparks A Chart-Breaking Rally</h2>
The stock surged more than 21% after the president announced a "planned partnership" between U.S. Steel and Japan's Nippon Steel, pledging the company would stay American, headquartered in Pittsburgh, and promising 70,000 jobs and $14 billion in U.S. investment.

Technically, the breakout is hard to miss. U.S. Steel stock is trading far above its eight, 20, 50, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), with the eight-day average sitting at $42.87 and the stock now at $52.01. 
The RSI (relative strength index) of 76.02 suggests the stock is overbought, while the MACD (moving average convergence/divergence indicator) reading of 0.85 points to bullish momentum. 
Traders are seeing textbook confirmation of a bullish breakout.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Skepticism Clouds Deal Optimism</h2>
But not everyone is convinced the rally is built on solid footing. JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson maintained a "Neutral" stance, stating "questions remain" over the deal's structure and execution. 
While some media outlets have reported that Trump approved Nippon Steel's acquisition, subsequent statements from the president painted a murkier picture. He&#8217;s described the deal as an "investment" or "partial ownership" rather than a full takeover. "It will be controlled by the United States. Otherwise, I wouldn't make the deal," Trump said.
Peterson noted that the newly announced $14 billion investment figure is far above the previously suggested $2.7 billion, raising questions about how—and whether—that capital would be deployed in just over a year. Nippon Steel's Vice Chairman reiterated the company's intent for a full buyout as recently as May 20, saying there would be "no free technology" in a joint venture structure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steel Rivals Sink As U.S. Steel Soars</h2>
Market reaction among peers painted a telling picture: while U.S. Steel soared, rivals 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>) declined &#8211; suggesting the market expects a more competitive steel landscape if the deal materializes.
For now, U.S. Steel bulls are riding the momentum, but whether this Trump-fueled breakout has structural legs will depend on how the fog around the deal clears—or doesn't—in the days ahead.

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions serve as a piece of the puzzle in investment decisions, rather than the entire picture.
From a legal standpoint, the term "insider" pertains to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as outlined in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to inform the public of their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
A company insider's new purchase is a indicator of their positive anticipation for a rise in the stock.
While insider sells may not necessarily reflect a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Essential Transaction Codes Unveiled</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Risk-on sentiment dominated Wall Street on Wednesday, as upbeat earnings reports and conciliatory messages from the Trump administration h<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">elped lift investor confidence.</a>
The administration eased market fears on two major fronts that have recently weighed heavily on sentiment. On the trade front, tensions with China appeared to thaw, with reports suggesting the White House is considering reducing tariffs on certain categories of goods.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added fuel to the rally, stating U.S.-China tariffs are unsustainable and will likely need to be lowered to facilitate meaningful negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump offered an abrupt shift in tone toward Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has no intention to fire him, a remark that helped calm concerns over political interference in monetary policy.

Trump's pivot on Powell pushed Treasury yields lower across the curve, with the 30-year yield falling five basis points to 4.83%, after briefly topping 4.90% the previous day.
On the macro front, flash Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys revealed slowing growth momentum in the U.S. economy, as the services sector decelerated sharply following the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44952395/us-business-activity-growth-slows-in-april-as-services-suffer-tariff-shock-markets-rally-as-trade-war-cools">of recent tariff shocks.</a>

Stocks Surge On China Tariff Hopes, Tesla Jumps, Gold Loses Shine: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

U.S. stock futures continued rising on Wednesday after a day of strong recovery on Tuesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were higher in premarket.
President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44943319/craig-shapiro-takes-a-dig-at-donald-trump-trump-2-0-same-as-1-0-after-administration-hints-at-a-">hinted at a deal with China</a>. While speaking to the reporters at the White House, he said, "I think we will make a deal with China. If we don't make a deal, we will set it. I think they will want to be a part of the United States. We're doing great. This is the Golden Age.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44935649/alibaba-nio-pdd-shares-rise-amid-potential-de-escalation-of-china-trade-tensions-whats-going-on">during a private meeting</a> hosted by JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), hinted at de-escalation with China. 
He said that a deal is achievable even as the formal negotiations have not begun yet. Bessent acknowledged that current duties were untenable, but did not provide the specifics or the timeline of the deal.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.34% and the two-year bond was at 3.83%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 94.2% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Senior economist Mohamed El-Erian underscored in an X post that volatility was the dominant theme for U.S. financial assets as the stocks recovered sharply on Tuesday after Monday&#8217;s heavy selloff.
According to him, Tuesday&#8217;s session followed the &#8220;exact opposite session on Monday,&#8221; which had seen a decline in equities, a fall in the dollar, and a rise in gold prices. 
He was of the opinion that &#8220;Given all the uncertainties in play, it is prudent to expect continued volatility in the weeks ahead.&#8221;

Ryan Detrick from Carson Research highlighted a trend in the market, the occurrence of which has marked the bottom within the NYSE in 1987, 2009, 2011 and 2020.
According to the data, over 89% of stocks advanced, with 89% of trading volume on Tuesday. This has happened on two days within nine trading days on April 9 and April 22.
This market signal's reliability stems from extreme market breadth, indicating oversold conditions, often preceding rebounds as investor sentiment shifts.
However, the past performance isn't a guaranteed predictor, especially with current pressures like Trump's tariff policies and potential Federal Reserve rate changes.
Detrick said that after such a market signal, the market was &#8220;Up nearly 25% on avg 6 months later.&#8221;

According to Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates, investors, including Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, have been &#8220;needlessly worried&#8221; about inflation and stagflation that has not materialized. &#8220;The reality is that deflation has arrived in the wake of the lowest crude oil prices in the past four years, so investors, the Fed, and our allies have been unnecessarily worried over nothing,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;The stock market is a manic crowd that likes to react first and think second. It is now time to think and prosper during another spectacular earnings announcement season. Spring has arrived, and consumers are increasingly getting out and about, which is why the strongest retail sales in two years just occurred,&#8221; he added.

Tesla, Philip Morris International And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) reported first-quarter financial results after the market close on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at the key details <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44937297/steel-dynamics-reports-first-quarter-2025-results">from the print</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q1 Revenue: $4.37 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $4.2 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q1 EPS: $1.44, versus estimates of $1.38</li>
</ul>
Steel Dynamics shipped 3.5 million tons of steel during the first quarter and generated $230 million of operating income from its steel operations. The company reported $153 million in cash flow from operations, which was reduced by annual companywide retirement profit-sharing distributions of $165 million.
The company&#8217;s average external product selling price for steel operations decreased $13 sequentially to $998 per ton. Steel Dynamics noted that flat-rolled steel pricing rebounded from recent lows. Steel demand in the quarter was led by the energy, non-residential construction, automotive and industrial sectors.
Steel Dynamics repurchased $250 million worth of its common stock in the quarter and ended the period with total liquidity of $2.6 billion.
&#8220;Underlying steel demand improved in the&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;as customer orders rebounded and backlogs increased throughout the quarter at our steel and steel fabrication operations. Steel prices improved throughout the quarter from the lows seen in the second half of 2024 as trade actions have seen imports decline from recent highs,&#8221; said Mark Millett, chairman and CEO of Steel Dynamics.&nbsp;
&#8220;We should see the benefit from these higher steel prices in the coming months, as lagging flat-rolled steel contracts roll. In combination with our ongoing value-added flat-rolled steel and aluminum expansion initiatives, there are firm drivers in place for our continued growth.&#8221;
Outlook: Steel Dynamics expects domestic steel consumption to be &#8220;solid&#8221; throughout 2025 and in the coming years. The company noted that it has seen some &#8220;uncertainty&#8221; from customers related to recent trade tensions. 
Despite the uncertainty from customers, Steel Dynamics expects demand for lower-carbon emission, U.S.-produced steel products combined with lower imports to support steel pricing and demand.
STLD Price Action: S<a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/stld">teel Dynamics shares</a> closed Tuesday up 3.38% at $117.39; after-hours, shares were up 1.80% at $119.50 at the time of publication, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
