Cleveland-Cliffs Stock Drops 7.5% In A Week – Here’s What You Should Know

Cleveland-Cliffs stock (NYSE: CLF) dropped 7.5% over the last 5 trading days (1 week). This was mainly after China’s announcement that it plans to cut its crude steel production. This would mean low demand for iron ore due to which this announcement led to almost a 10% drop in global iron ore prices in the last one week. CLF’s rivals like Vale and Rio Tinto, along with major steel companies, also bore the brunt of this announcement with their stock prices dropping. In comparison to CLF’s 7.5% drop, the broader S&P 500 decreased 3.6% over the last 5 trading days. Now, is CLF stock set to decline further or could we expect some recovery?
