Why are the new tariffs causing U.S. domestic steel producers' stock prices to fall?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43698points) August 30th, 2018

I thought tariffs were supposed to help domestic steel producers.
Please see the attached charts of a couple of steel producers:
United States Steel – X
Schnitzer Steel Industries – SCHN

With all this tariff “protection” shouldn’t they be going up? Why are their share prices falling?
