U.S. steel prices have climbed to their highest level in more than four years as Donald Trump’s tariff policy restricts foreign steel supply, according to a newsflash cited by ChainCatcher. Hot-rolled coil prices have risen 52% in total, reaching $1,255 per short ton. The move has boosted earnings for domestic steel producers while raising costs for manufacturers that rely on steel inputs. The report framed the price surge as a direct result of tighter supply conditions tied to the tariff policy.
