川普將宣布150億美元投資案 在愛荷華州建新鋼鐵廠

Quick Look

美國總統川普預計於28日宣布一項高達150億美元的重大投資案,由明尼蘇達州企業Mesabi Metallics在愛荷華州興建全新鋼鐵廠,預計2030年投產,初期年產能750萬噸,創造超過1700個就業機會,此舉旨在展現振興本土製造業的決心,並呼應其以關稅政策支撐國內鋼鐵產業的策略。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

川普政府曾在首個任期對進口鋼鐵徵收關稅,並將稅率提高至50%,以支撐國內鋼鐵產業,認為其對國家安全至關重要。美國國內鋼鐵價格目前居世界最高水平,提升下游製造業成本。

美國總統川普預計於當地時間28日下午宣布一項高達150億美元(新台幣4767億元)的重大投資案,1家明尼蘇達州企業計劃在愛荷華州興建全新的鋼鐵廠。隨著11月美國期中選舉即將到來,白宮正積極對外宣傳這項重大投資,藉此展現政府振興本土製造業的決心。

報導指出,川普預計將在白宮與Mesabi Metallics的高層主管共同公布這項投資提案。Mesabi Metallics近期才剛在明尼蘇達州啟用了1座全新的鐵礦石場,這也是該州50年來首度開闢的新鐵礦設施。

白宮1名官員表示,位於愛荷華州的這座新鋼鐵廠,最快可能在2030年開始生產鋼鐵,初期年產能料達750萬噸,有望創造逾1700個就業機會,後續擴建工程預計將該廠年產能提升至約1000萬噸。

美國國內鋼鐵業一直是川普運用關稅政策來支撐其產業和貿易政策的關鍵試驗場。川普在首個任期內對進口鋼鐵徵收關稅,並在去年將稅率提高至50%,理由是國內鋼鐵生產對國家安全至關重要,這些關稅使得美國鋼鐵製造商能夠在不受低價進口鋼鐵威脅的情況下提高產品價格。

美國鋼鐵價格目前位居世界最高之列,推高了依賴鋼鐵的製造商的生產成本。但美國鋼鐵業協會認為,關稅政策為美國國內鋼鐵生產帶來了超過400億美元的投資,創造了數千個新的工作機會。

International oil prices closed slightly higher on Monday as the market focused on Qatar's mediation efforts in talks between Iran and the United States.

International oil prices closed slightly higher on Monday, with Brent crude rising 0.9% to $105.28 and WTI rising 0.2% to $92.60. The market is worried about continued supply disruptions, and Qatari mediators have promised to hold talks with the United States and Iran in the hope of reaching a peace agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices surged by more than $4 after U.S. President Trump rejected Iran's proposal, but subsequent negotiations are expected to moderate the gains. An official who asked not to be named revealed that Qatari mediators will hold separate talks with Iran's foreign minister in New York on Monday and may hold talks with the United States on Monday or Tuesday to focus on the revised version of Iran's seven-day proposal at the United Nations General Assembly. Saudi Arabia's foreign minister also arrived in Washington on Monday to prepare for talks with the US Secretary of State, as hostilities between Yemen's Houthi armed forces and Saudi Arabia are escalating.

Is gold falling below $4,100 just the beginning? Societe Generale warns the decline is not over yet

Societe Generale warned that gold plunged nearly $170 to $4,114.88 on Monday. The rebound failed to hold on to the 200-day moving average, and the downward momentum still prevails. If it cannot regain the recent high near $4,315, the decline may further expand. However, the bank maintains its medium- and long-term bullish expectations, predicting that the gold price will rise to $4,750 in the fourth quarter of 2026, and the average price for the whole year of 2027 will reach $5,125.

The company collaborated with Pfizer to develop an mRNA vaccine and earned billions of euros during the epidemic. However, after the vaccine boom passed, it failed to find a buyer and shifted its resources to cancer drug research and development.
