While the overall stock market has bounced back surprisingly strongly from the outbreak of COVID-19 around the world, many stocks in hard-hit sectors remain far, far below their prior highs.

The U.S. Commerce Department on Monday said it launched another "Section 232" national security investigation that could lead to new U.S. tariffs on imports of key electrical steel components of power transformers and related goods.

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE: CLF) today praised the U.S. Department of Commerce’s self-initiation of an urgent Section 232 investigation covering laminations for stacked transformer cores, stacked and wound transformer cores, electrical transformers, and transformer regulators. The outcome of this investigation will be critical to addressing circumvention of existing national security tariffs covering Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES) using laminations and cores cut in Mexico and in Canada as means for tariff evasion. Cleveland-Cliffs’ wholly-owned subsidiary AK Steel is the last remaining producer of GOES in North America. This blatant circumvention activity has degraded the domestic electrical steel market and now threatens the viability of Cleveland-Cliffs continuing to produce GOES, a critical element to the security of America’s electric grid.
