<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Pitch Sparks A Chart-Breaking Rally</h2>
The stock surged more than 21% after the president announced a "planned partnership" between U.S. Steel and Japan's Nippon Steel, pledging the company would stay American, headquartered in Pittsburgh, and promising 70,000 jobs and $14 billion in U.S. investment.

Technically, the breakout is hard to miss. U.S. Steel stock is trading far above its eight, 20, 50, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), with the eight-day average sitting at $42.87 and the stock now at $52.01. 
The RSI (relative strength index) of 76.02 suggests the stock is overbought, while the MACD (moving average convergence/divergence indicator) reading of 0.85 points to bullish momentum. 
Traders are seeing textbook confirmation of a bullish breakout.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Skepticism Clouds Deal Optimism</h2>
But not everyone is convinced the rally is built on solid footing. JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson maintained a "Neutral" stance, stating "questions remain" over the deal's structure and execution. 
While some media outlets have reported that Trump approved Nippon Steel's acquisition, subsequent statements from the president painted a murkier picture. He&#8217;s described the deal as an "investment" or "partial ownership" rather than a full takeover. "It will be controlled by the United States. Otherwise, I wouldn't make the deal," Trump said.
Peterson noted that the newly announced $14 billion investment figure is far above the previously suggested $2.7 billion, raising questions about how—and whether—that capital would be deployed in just over a year. Nippon Steel's Vice Chairman reiterated the company's intent for a full buyout as recently as May 20, saying there would be "no free technology" in a joint venture structure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steel Rivals Sink As U.S. Steel Soars</h2>
Market reaction among peers painted a telling picture: while U.S. Steel soared, rivals like Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) declined &#8211; suggesting the market expects a more competitive steel landscape if the deal materializes.
For now, U.S. Steel bulls are riding the momentum, but whether this Trump-fueled breakout has structural legs will depend on how the fog around the deal clears—or doesn't—in the days ahead.

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions serve as a piece of the puzzle in investment decisions, rather than the entire picture.
From a legal standpoint, the term "insider" pertains to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as outlined in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to inform the public of their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
A company insider's new purchase is a indicator of their positive anticipation for a rise in the stock.
While insider sells may not necessarily reflect a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Essential Transaction Codes Unveiled</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Overweight on Steel Dynamics, Lowers Price Target to $140

Risk-on sentiment dominated Wall Street on Wednesday, as upbeat earnings reports and conciliatory messages from the Trump administration h<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">elped lift investor confidence.</a>
The administration eased market fears on two major fronts that have recently weighed heavily on sentiment. On the trade front, tensions with China appeared to thaw, with reports suggesting the White House is considering reducing tariffs on certain categories of goods.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added fuel to the rally, stating U.S.-China tariffs are unsustainable and will likely need to be lowered to facilitate meaningful negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump offered an abrupt shift in tone toward Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has no intention to fire him, a remark that helped calm concerns over political interference in monetary policy.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was up by nearly 2%, though it had earlier climbed even higher. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed with a 2.5% gain, driven by strength in Magnificent Seven stocks.
Trump's pivot on Powell pushed Treasury yields lower across the curve, with the 30-year yield falling five basis points to 4.83%, after briefly topping 4.90% the previous day.
On the macro front, flash Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys revealed slowing growth momentum in the U.S. economy, as the services sector decelerated sharply following the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44952395/us-business-activity-growth-slows-in-april-as-services-suffer-tariff-shock-markets-rally-as-trade-war-cools">of recent tariff shocks.</a>

Stocks Surge On China Tariff Hopes, Tesla Jumps, Gold Loses Shine: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

U.S. stock futures continued rising on Wednesday after a day of strong recovery on Tuesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were higher in premarket.
President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44943319/craig-shapiro-takes-a-dig-at-donald-trump-trump-2-0-same-as-1-0-after-administration-hints-at-a-">hinted at a deal with China</a>. While speaking to the reporters at the White House, he said, "I think we will make a deal with China. If we don't make a deal, we will set it. I think they will want to be a part of the United States. We're doing great. This is the Golden Age.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44935649/alibaba-nio-pdd-shares-rise-amid-potential-de-escalation-of-china-trade-tensions-whats-going-on">during a private meeting</a> hosted by JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), hinted at de-escalation with China. 
He said that a deal is achievable even as the formal negotiations have not begun yet. Bessent acknowledged that current duties were untenable, but did not provide the specifics or the timeline of the deal.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.34% and the two-year bond was at 3.83%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 94.2% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Senior economist Mohamed El-Erian underscored in an X post that volatility was the dominant theme for U.S. financial assets as the stocks recovered sharply on Tuesday after Monday&#8217;s heavy selloff.
According to him, Tuesday&#8217;s session followed the &#8220;exact opposite session on Monday,&#8221; which had seen a decline in equities, a fall in the dollar, and a rise in gold prices. 
He was of the opinion that &#8220;Given all the uncertainties in play, it is prudent to expect continued volatility in the weeks ahead.&#8221;

Ryan Detrick from Carson Research highlighted a trend in the market, the occurrence of which has marked the bottom within the NYSE in 1987, 2009, 2011 and 2020.
According to the data, over 89% of stocks advanced, with 89% of trading volume on Tuesday. This has happened on two days within nine trading days on April 9 and April 22.
This market signal's reliability stems from extreme market breadth, indicating oversold conditions, often preceding rebounds as investor sentiment shifts.
However, the past performance isn't a guaranteed predictor, especially with current pressures like Trump's tariff policies and potential Federal Reserve rate changes.
Detrick said that after such a market signal, the market was &#8220;Up nearly 25% on avg 6 months later.&#8221;

According to Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates, investors, including Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, have been &#8220;needlessly worried&#8221; about inflation and stagflation that has not materialized. &#8220;The reality is that deflation has arrived in the wake of the lowest crude oil prices in the past four years, so investors, the Fed, and our allies have been unnecessarily worried over nothing,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;The stock market is a manic crowd that likes to react first and think second. It is now time to think and prosper during another spectacular earnings announcement season. Spring has arrived, and consumers are increasingly getting out and about, which is why the strongest retail sales in two years just occurred,&#8221; he added.

Tesla, Philip Morris International And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) reported first-quarter financial results after the market close on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at the key details <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44937297/steel-dynamics-reports-first-quarter-2025-results">from the print</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q1 Revenue: $4.37 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $4.2 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q1 EPS: $1.44, versus estimates of $1.38</li>
</ul>
Steel Dynamics shipped 3.5 million tons of steel during the first quarter and generated $230 million of operating income from its steel operations. The company reported $153 million in cash flow from operations, which was reduced by annual companywide retirement profit-sharing distributions of $165 million.
The company&#8217;s average external product selling price for steel operations decreased $13 sequentially to $998 per ton. Steel Dynamics noted that flat-rolled steel pricing rebounded from recent lows. Steel demand in the quarter was led by the energy, non-residential construction, automotive and industrial sectors.
Steel Dynamics repurchased $250 million worth of its common stock in the quarter and ended the period with total liquidity of $2.6 billion.
&#8220;Underlying steel demand improved in the&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;as customer orders rebounded and backlogs increased throughout the quarter at our steel and steel fabrication operations. Steel prices improved throughout the quarter from the lows seen in the second half of 2024 as trade actions have seen imports decline from recent highs,&#8221; said Mark Millett, chairman and CEO of Steel Dynamics.&nbsp;
&#8220;We should see the benefit from these higher steel prices in the coming months, as lagging flat-rolled steel contracts roll. In combination with our ongoing value-added flat-rolled steel and aluminum expansion initiatives, there are firm drivers in place for our continued growth.&#8221;
Outlook: Steel Dynamics expects domestic steel consumption to be &#8220;solid&#8221; throughout 2025 and in the coming years. The company noted that it has seen some &#8220;uncertainty&#8221; from customers related to recent trade tensions. 
Despite the uncertainty from customers, Steel Dynamics expects demand for lower-carbon emission, U.S.-produced steel products combined with lower imports to support steel pricing and demand.
STLD Price Action: S<a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/stld">teel Dynamics shares</a> closed Tuesday up 3.38% at $117.39; after-hours, shares were up 1.80% at $119.50 at the time of publication, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Steel Dynamics Reports Q1 Earnings: Revenue Beat, EPS Beat, Improving Demand Drives 'Solid' Steel Consumption Forecast

Steel Dynamics shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q1 EPS and revenues.

Outlook&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
"We remain constructive that market conditions are in place for domestic steel consumption to be solid through 2025 and into the following years," said&nbsp;Millett. "Order entry activity improved across our businesses and steel pricing firmed in the first quarter 2025. However, we have seen some uncertainty from certain customers related to recent trade actions. Overall, we believe demand for lower-carbon emission, U.S. produced steel products coupled with lower imports will support steel pricing and demand. The continued onshoring of manufacturing businesses, combined with the expectation of fixed asset investment to be derived from public and private funding should competitively position the domestic steel industry. We also expect the recent International Trade Commission's preliminary determinations related to coated flat rolled steel to reduce the amount of unfairly traded imports of these products into the United States, which could have a significant positive impact for us, as we are the largest non-automotive flat rolled steel coater in the United States. We believe these broader dynamics will benefit all of our operating platforms.
"Our four new value-added flat rolled steel coating lines continue to increase utilization and we expect to realize full run rate earnings potential in the second half 2025. Value-added product investments such as these enhance our differentiated supply-chain capabilities, while also increasing our higher-margin product offerings, which already represent over 65 percent of our steel revenues.
"The aluminum team is continuing with successful commissioning of the company's Columbus, Mississippi aluminum flat rolled products mill, along with the San Luis Potosi, Mexico satellite recycled slab center. The Mississippi team successfully cast its first aluminum ingot in January 2025 and the Mexico team in March 2025. Construction is near completion on the hot and cold mills. The finishing equipment installation for the automotive treatment and can sheet coating lines are also on schedule. The company continues to expect to ship commercial aluminum flat rolled coils mid-2025.
"We have intentionally grown with our customers' needs, providing efficient sustainable supply-chain solutions for the highest quality products. Thus far, this has primarily been achieved within the steel industry — however, a significant number of our flat rolled steel customers are also consumers and processors of aluminum flat rolled products. We are pleased to further diversify our end markets with plans to supply aluminum flat rolled products with high recycled content to the countercyclical sustainable beverage can and packaging industry, in addition to the automotive, industrial, and construction sectors. We believe our unique performance-based operating culture, coupled with our considerable experience in successfully constructing and operating cost-effective, highly profitable flat rolled steel mills, positions us exceptionally well to execute this strategic opportunity and to deliver strong long-term value creation. Our customers and our people are also incredibly excited for this growth opportunity.
"Our commitment is to the health and safety of our teams, families, and communities, while meeting the current and future needs of our customers. Our culture and business model continues to positively differentiate our performance from the rest of the industry. We continue to focus on delivering superior value to our team members, customers, and shareholders," concluded Millett.
