US Steel (X)
US Steel (X) is a company that is considered part of the "Trump Trade". The Trump Trade basically stands for companies that stand to benefit from the President's policies and agenda. From what I have seen reported, infrastructure spending is a key component of his agenda.
Infrastructure spending could help boost companies that provide materials for infrastructure, like US Steel (X).
And when the President mandates that pipelines that he just re-opened up for completion are required to be built with steel produced in the USA, even better. US Steel and Mittal Steel stand to be the beneficiaries of those Presidential orders.
Some infrastructure stocks have already made significant gains. Let's review some charts for US Steel (X) and see how it stacks up to the competition.
