Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock.

Ancora Holdings, a Mayfield Heights-based institutional asset management company and private wealth advisor, is calling on U.S. Steel to drop its merger agreement with Japanese-owned Nippon Steel, end its litigation against the federal government seeking to keep the deal alive and oust its Chief Executive.

U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel filed a separate lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., against the Biden administration to overturn the order and force a new review that could potentially lead to the deal.

Activist investor Ancora has nominated nine candidates to U.S. Steel's board of directors, as it looks to oust company CEO David Burritt and push the American steelmaker to back out of a $14.9 billion merger deal with Japan's Nippon Steel.
