The White House Is Playing "Chicken" with Global Trade

U.S. President Donald Trump is talking tough about steel tariffs, but they could be nothing more than bargaining chips for better trade deals. Companies relying on tariffs simply aren't good plays.

In March 2018, the Trump administration announced that it would impose a 25% tariff on global steel imports. The announcement caused a dramatic rise in market volatility and sent American steel stocks soaring.

While the White House's policy certainly boost the profits of American steel companies, the policy is unlikely to stick around.

You see, there is a high likelihood that the White House is using American steel tariffs as a bargaining chip in international negotiations that will be repealed once they've outlived their usefulness.

Already, President Trump has repeatedly indicated there are several developments that would bring him to lift tariffs. These include the renegotiation of NAFTA, a new Chinese trade deal, and a more balanced trade relationship with the European Union.

In other words, the White House is not firmly committed to bolstering the steel industry indefinitely with tariffs. In fact, President Trump is likely to abandon them the second he gets what he wants.

That makes investing in U.S. steel right now a hefty gamble, even for the boldest investor.

As a result, the boom in American steel stocks - and Wall Street's gains - are borrowed time.

That's why our favorite steel stock to buy steers clear of politics and sticks to profits.

Because of its relationship to the global steel industry, this steel stock will avoid significant fallout when tariffs are repealed.

It also has Money Morning Stock VQScore™ of 4, indicating that it's primed for significant gains in the near future.
