NDTV Profit reports that US solar stocks and ETFs surged after President Donald Trump imposed a 15% tariff on imported polysilicon products. First Solar gained about 8%, while SolarEdge Technologies rose 2.4%. The move is part of a wider trade action against Chinese goods. Polysilicon is a key raw material for solar panels, and the tariff is expected to boost domestic US manufacturers. The rally in solar stocks reflects investor optimism that the policy will shield US producers from cheaper imports, though some analysts worry about higher costs for panel makers.
