  • The latest trade news out of the next Trump administration has markets on the move, hitting big automakers' shares and the stocks of America's neighbors.

The article from Investopedia discusses the impact of former President Donald Trump's tariff policies on the automotive industry, particularly focusing on the reactions to his potential re-election and the reimposition of tariffs. Trump had previously imposed a 25% tariff on steel and a 10% tariff on aluminum in 2018, which significantly affected automakers due to their reliance on these materials. His recent comments about potentially reintroducing a 10% tariff on all imported goods if re-elected have led to a decline in automaker stocks. Specifically, shares of companies like Tesla, Ford, and General Motors saw drops, with foreign automakers like Toyota and Volkswagen also experiencing declines in their stock prices. The article highlights the uncertainty and potential cost increases for automakers, which could lead to higher prices for consumers, reduced sales, and shifts in production strategies. Additionally, it notes the broader economic implications, including potential trade wars and increased costs for U.S. manufacturers.
