As of Jun 12, 2026. Market Open.
US ETF that covers the whole steel sector. You want to see how your stock is trading relative to its sector. The sector itself looks really interesting. Doesn't have any direct exposure right now, but it's on his radar.
Pressures from tariffs and other things. If we're closer to the end of the business cycle, then a lot of these stocks are getting pretty cheap. He's not promising a turnaround is coming. He'd buy into pullbacks.
A steel ETF that covers stocks like Rio Tinto, Cleveland Cliff, etc.. The best way to play the global steel sector. Look at the 10 year chart to get perspective. We have seen a good rally already. A classic cyclical play. We are getting to the top end of the range. Not early.
Steel benefits more from October through to May when manufacturing does well and all the cyclicals do well. The average gain for steel over that time is about 7%. There has been improvement in manufacturing recently, which is not seasonably typical.
