SAO PAULO, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Shares in Brazilian steelmaker Gerdau GGBR4.SA rose more than 3% on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump said he planned to announce 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States.
Gerdau has units in the U.S. and had previously touted its substantial operations in the country as a hedge against the risk of protectionism from Trump.
Peer CSN CSNA3.SA, which has more exposure to the Brazilian market, was trading down 0.5%. The South American country is one of the largest sources of U.S. steel imports.
