A flattening yield curve and slowing economic growth hurt the profitability of banks.

Thanks for including a the full quote that actually defends what I said. Here's the part you missed because you were too busy believing CNN's not-so-subtle pot shot at Trump instead of what actual happened.
Action -> Reaction
A flattening yield curve and slowing economic growth -> hurt the profitability of banks.
Banks are dependent on and a part of the market in way that is similar to currency. When a sector falls, banks fall.
The Dow plummeted 799 points on Tuesday. Uncertainty about the US-China trade ceasefire was one reason. But the banking sector was hit particularly hard on concerns about bond yields, and what they could be saying about economic growth.
Investors appear to be spooked by the shrinking difference between short-term and long-term bond yields. On Tuesday, the gap between 10-year and two-year Treasury yields was the smallest it's been since just before the Great Recession.

Is he claiming the tariffs would benefit the economy, though? I read nothing like that in the article. In the past he's gone the populist route, essentially that tariffs would hurt companies that produce abroad and thus bring domestic manufacturing jobs back. For him that's a sensible argument, since much of his support comes from people that would benefit from more industry jobs.
It would hurt the companies and economy, but lowering steel and aluminium imports in a lasting manner would lead to a rise in mining and metallurgy industries, and more jobs. Probably very welcome thoughts to those coal miners Trump was alone in supporting during the election.
His rhetoric is typically along the lines of being tough on China, since they abuse us with a trade deficit (while drastically misunderstanding what a trade deficit actually is). Not to mention, he's putting tariffs on things we don't produce domestically, which does nothing to even protect native industry, making it even more pointless. The tariffs are, in fact, drastically damaging his rural base, hence why he's promoting an aid package for them.
