0103 GMT - Australia's BlueScope Steel is tipped to be a winner from President Trump's planned 25% tariffs on U.S. imports of steel and aluminum. The stock rises 2.8% to A$22.11/share, as the broader Australian market trades in the red. The U.S. is BlueScope's top region for growth. The steelmaker, which runs the North Star mini-mill in Ohio, is working to boost volumes there by another 10% following the completion of an expansion that increased output by nearly 50%. Trump says he plans to announce the 25% tariffs Monday. U.S. tariffs could help offset tough steel-market conditions for BlueScope, with spreads in Asia especially soft. BlueScope's stock hit A$22.365 earlier in Sydney, its highest since Dec. 2. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
