Tariff Update

Since taking office, President Donald Trump has implemented sweeping measures to reshape global trade, with the recent imposition of 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports standing as a defining policy move.

The tariffs aim to bolster domestic production by making foreign metals more expensive, thus protecting politically significant industries in the U.S., particularly in Rust Belt states. Canada, the largest supplier of both metals to the U.S., will bear the brunt, accounting for 58% of aluminum and 23% of steel imports in recent years. The levies also target imports from Mexico, Brazil, and South Korea, with little clarity on exemptions, though Australia has received preferential treatment.

While these measures aim to combat trade deficits and protect U.S. industries, they risk straining ties with key allies and exacerbating inflationary pressures on consumers.

Notably, Trump’s tariffs extend beyond raw materials to include downstream finished products, signaling broader economic implications. Critics argue that the levies could raise costs across sectors reliant on specialty grades of steel and aluminum, such as construction, aerospace, and auto manufacturing, while failing to significantly boost domestic output.

During Trump’s first term, similar tariffs coincided with a decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs and industrial production, raising doubts about the efficacy of such policies. The tariffs, implemented under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, highlight Trump’s broader strategy of leveraging trade as a negotiating tool, though his willingness to grant exemptions or alter plans creates uncertainty. As global trade flows adapt, retaliatory measures, particularly from China, could further disrupt markets, while domestic industries and consumers brace for higher costs and limited supply.

While the policy aims for long-term economic benefits, its broader implications, such as heightened consumer prices and diplomatic tensions underscore the uncertainty it introduces into both the domestic and international markets.

The US Midwest aluminum premium, which reflects additional cost above LME prices, saw a dramatic surge of 18% in a single session on February 3, after President Trump signed an executive order imposing a 25% tariff on aluminum and steel imports from Mexico and Canada, along with a 10% duty on imports from China.

On Feb 10, Trump announced blanket tariffs on both steel and aluminum imports to US, to support US industries and bolster job creation, pushing premiums higher again, reaching 30 cents/pound, highlighting significant price disparity between US aluminum and aluminum in other regions.

During Trump's first term, premiums doubled from Jan-June 2018, when his tariffs took effect on June 1. In contrast, impact on premiums this year has been less pronounced, partly due to expectations of negotiations before March 12 deadline. If tariffs remain in place, US could face potentially steeper premiums and higher domestic prices in the near term.
