Today's Headlines

Bloomberg:
  • Steelmakers Surge on `Precedent-Setting' U.S. Import Ruling. U.S. Steel Corp. led gains among major American producers of the metal after the U.S. slapped duties on some Vietnamese alloys made with China imports. In a preliminary ruling, the Commerce Department found that corrosion-resistant steel and some cold-rolled metal from Vietnam made from products originating in China circumvented duty orders on those imports from China. The decision could pave the way for the U.S. to place duties on other countries that use Chinese steel.
  • Retail Investors Just Made a Historic Move Into U.S. StocksClients at TD Ameritrade added to stock holdings for a 10th straight month in November, driving a gauge of retail investor sentiment 15 percent higher to a record, according to the online brokerage’s website. That was the “largest single-month increase ever” in the firm’s IMX measure, as investors piled into an equity market that’s on pace for its best year since 2013.
