BREAKING 🚨: US imposing 25% tariffs on key industrial metal. inflation vs domestic support

the U.S. is reportedly moving forward with 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum, and copper derivatives

on one hand, this could support domestic producers and reduce reliance on imports

on the other, it likely raises input costs across a wide range of industries, which could feed into broader inflation

feels like another example of policy trade-offs between industrial strategy and price stability

just saw this on Blossom and thought I'd ask here, curious how people here are thinking about it, net positive for U.S. equities, or just another inflationary pressure point
