Reading time: 5 min.

The Canadian steel stocks, aluminum stocks on our list all rely on the U.S. for a significant portion of their sales

SmallCapPower | March 9, 2018: On March 1, 2018, the Trump administration announced a 25% tariff on steel and a 10% tariff on aluminum. The orders now exempt Canada and Mexico from the tariffs, with possible exemptions for Australia and other U.S. allies to come. If NAFTA negotiations are unsatisfactory, Trump may alter or remove any exemptions. The Canadian steel stocks and aluminum stocks on our list today have not experienced significant changes in their stock prices, having underperformed the TSX-V by 3% over the past week. Due to the decision by the United States, these companies could see a sudden market response.
