US Steel Hits 52-Week High

Shares of U.S. Steel are hitting a 52-week high after President Donald Trump ordered a new national security review of Nippon Steel’s proposed bid to buy U.S. Steel for nearly $15 billion. President Joe Biden blocked the deal just before leaving office and Trump had vowed to do the same in previous months. Late Monday Trump ordered the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to review the transaction “to assist me in determining whether further action in this matter may be appropriate.” Shares soared 16% Monday and they are up modestly Tuesday.
