These 10 Companies Led Tuesday’s Charge

8. Century Aluminum Co. (NASDAQ:CENX)

Century Aluminum rose for a second day on Tuesday, adding 5.63 percent to finish at $21.76 apiece as funds flocked into the company’s shares following President Donald Trump’s slapping of 25 percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports.

CENX lauded the new taxes, saying it supports Trump’s decisive action to strengthen tariffs and fight back against unfair trade practices that have allegedly disadvantaged the US primary aluminum industry for years.

“We strongly support today’s Executive Order…President Trump’s decisive action will protect national security and help level the playing field for America’s aluminum workers,” CENX CEO Jesse Gary said in a statement.

He added that the move will help drive the resurgence of domestic aluminum production.

CENX is one the largest domestic producers of primary aluminum in the US.
