description: "Steel and construction machinery rose slightly today. $Cleveland Cliffs(CLF.US) was up 0.6%, and $Caterpillar(CAT.US) was up 0.3%😔There's no clear directional catalyst; the market is waiting for new incremental data on infrastructure investment.Caterpillar's orders are influenced by the cycles of mining and construction activities, with recent PMI data trends serving as short-term reference variables.CLF is driven by both automotive and construction sectors domestically in the US. Tariff policies are favorable for domestic steel manufacturers, but the extent remains to be seen."
