Deep dives
Impact of Tariffs on the Automotive Industry
Recent tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, specifically a 25% increase on automotive imports, have significantly affected shares in major car companies. With nearly half of all vehicles sold in the U.S. being imported and even domestically assembled cars relying heavily on overseas parts, these new levies have led to a marked decline in stock prices. For instance, General Motors saw a drop of over 7% and Ford's shares fell approximately 4% as investors reacted to the potential for tariffs rising to as high as 50%. This situation illustrates the interconnectedness of global trade and its immediate impacts on the automotive sector.
