Tariffs on autos and key inputs reduce Canadian auto exports to the US, pressuring auto suppliers and related equities. The 2027 start creates medium-term uncertainty; sentiment may worsen as negotiations unfold, similar to past episodes where cross-border tariffs dent Canada-heavy ETFs. Historically, tariff escalations elevate volatility and compress earnings for export-reliant sectors.
