The stock market has been rattled by escalating tariff tensions, with the latest round of import duties sending shockwaves through key sectors.
In early March 2025, President Trump imposed 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, leading to immediate market reactions.
The S&P 500 fell by 1.8%, and the Nasdaq-100 dropped by 2.6% on the day of the announcement. In the month following its peak in February, the S&P 500 declined by over 8%, erasing more than $4 trillion in market value.
These measures have heightened fears of a potential recession, causing investors to reassess their portfolios amid growing economic uncertainty.
But how do these tariffs impact specific companies?
One clear example is the proposed 20% tariff on steel, which could significantly affect automobile manufacturers that rely heavily on steel imports.
General Motors, for instance, could see steel costs rise by over $1 billion annually, cutting deeply into its bottom line.
In the video below, we break down exactly how tariffs on steel could impact GM and other automakers, what strategies they might use to mitigate the effects, and the broader implications for the industry:
