Investors have been following trade (dis)agreements between the US and major trading partners for the past week. They were particularly concerned about the 50% tariffs that India would have to pay on exports to the US.<\/p>\n

The case of Toyota illustrates the significant impact of Trump\u2019s tariffs on companies\u2019 business operations. In the second quarter, net profit fell by almost 40% and operating profit by 11% (to $7.9 billion), despite higher sales (six percent year-over-year growth and 17% growth in the electric vehicle segment).<\/p>\n

In the second quarter alone, higher tariffs (Japan initially had 30% tariffs and is now negotiating 15%) are expected to wipe out $2.9 billion in revenue, the biggest (tariff-related) damage auto companies have suffered to date. The full-year cost of higher tariffs is expected to reach $9.5 billion.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick boasted that the US earned $30 billion more in July because of the new tariffs, and that figure is expected to rise to $50 billion this month.<\/p>\n
