On August 24, Nucor rose 3.69% in pre-market trading, trading at $252.60/share, with turnover of $219,900. The steel sector extended its recovery after last week's Berkshire-driven selloff, buoyed by the impending implementation of doubled U.S. steel import tariffs to 50%, which is broadly supportive of domestic producers.

The tariff increase, set to take effect this week, follows the U.S.-Canada trade deal framework that would maintain a 25% tariff on Canadian steel imports while the general rate doubles, reinforcing protection for domestic steelmakers. This development comes alongside Argus raising its Nucor price target to $303 from $262 while maintaining a Buy rating, underscoring analyst confidence in the company's outlook.

Within the Steel & Iron sector, stocks rose broadly. Among individual names, Steel Dynamics gained 4.98%, ArcelorMittal rose 1.81%, Reliance Steel & Aluminum advanced 1.83%, and Cleveland-Cliffs added 1.24%.
