US EditionTrump’s Proposed Auto Tariffs Plunge Wall Street, Foreign Markets Into Turmoil
- On Wednesday, Donald Trump's administration revealed plans to impose a 25% tariff on auto imports, sparking immediate reactions in financial markets and drawing criticism from international leaders and automakers.
- The announcement of the tariffs compounded existing concerns about rising inflationary pressures and potential national security risks, as cited by the administration.
- Following the tariff announcement, the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite each fell approximately 0.5% at opening, while American car stocks experienced mixed results, with Motors down 3.7% and Rivian up 7.6%, reflecting Bloomberg's analysis that electric car manufacturers might be less affected.
- Mary Lovely of the Peterson Institute for International Economics told The Associated Press, 'We're looking at much higher vehicle prices,' and economists estimate the tariffs could increase vehicle prices by $5,000 to $15,000, potentially straining global supply chains and impacting American consumers.
- The tariffs, slated to begin April 2 or 3, are projected to generate $100 billion annually by boosting domestic car manufacturing, although economists fear they could escalate the global trade war, hike inflation, and potentially put Ford's dividends at risk, as Wall Street cuts earnings forecasts amid recession fears.
