Key Takeaways

  • Tire prices are likely to go up as a result of tariffs, JPMorgan analysts said.
  • Countries the U.S. imports tires from, including Thailand and Indonesia, are facing steep Trump administration tariffs.
  • Consumers may have some time before the full impact of the tariffs is felt, however, as companies stocked up on tires prior to the tariff announcement, the analysts said.

Tire prices are likely to increase as a result of the Trump administration's steep tariffs on countries that export them to the U.S🦩., analys෴ts at JPMorgan said Monday.

A record 63.4% of tires sold in the U.S. last year were imported, with Thailand (subject to a 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:37% tariff), Indonesia (32%), Vietnam (46%), and South Korea (26%) making up four of the top five countries the U.S. imports from, the analysts wrote.

"We expect U.S. tire prices to rise, perhaps substantially," JPMorgan said. Domestic tire producers should see a slight net benefit, but they face tariffs as well on the import of raw materials like rubber. Shares of Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT), which has operations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, sank more than 7% intraday Monday.

However, the full effect of price increases is "not likely to be felt immediately," the analysts wrote, since companies stocked up on imported tires before the tariffs were announced.
