Key developments

Cleveland-Cliffs reported a premarket earnings beat as stronger steel shipments and selling prices, alongside lower unit costs, supported profitability. Management raised its outlook, citing tariff-supported domestic pricing and contract renewals, and expects cash flow and property sales to support debt reduction. Midday coverage highlighted gains alongside metals and mining shares, but did not describe the close.
