Today’s Podcast Features are:

Anurag Rana, Bloomberg Intelligence Technology Analyst, discusses how tech companies are being impacted by Trump's tariffs. Apple is being heavily impacted by President Trump's new tariffs, which will affect its supply chain and manufacturing centers in several countries, including China, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and Ireland.

Steve Man, Bloomberg Intelligence Global Autos and Research Analyst, discusses the impact of tariffs on autos companies. President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on imported cars have taken effect, causing immediate fallout in the global auto industry, with companies like Stellantis, Ford, and Volkswagen taking measures to mitigate the impact.

Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Transport, Logistics and Shipping Analyst, discusses how shipping companies are being impacted by tariffs. Tariffs may push the truckload-rate recovery further out and earnings expectations lower for the year. Levies will disrupt freight demand, rates and the financial performance of truckload carriers like Knight-Swift, Werner and J.B. Hunt.

Poonam Goyal, Senior U.S. E-Commerce and Retail Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses tariff impact on retail companies. Efforts to keep costs low by diversifying out of China over the last decade will no longer insulate US retailers from higher tariffs, raising expenses and crimping margin. Sales could suffer, too, as higher prices soften demand.
