Shares of companies within retail, apparel, and e-commerce industries are trading lower amid heavy selling pressure as markets react to President Trump's tariff announcements, which may hamper consumer spending.

A sweeping new wave of tariffs unveiled by President Donald Trump on Wednesday triggered a sharp selloff during the after hours of trading as the scope and scale of the trade duties exceeded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock">Wall Street's worst-case expectations.</a>
The president framed the move as a long-overdue correction to decades of trade imbalance, instituting what he called a "reciprocal tariff rate," set at 50% of what trading partners charge the United States, but also factoring in non-tariff barriers like currency manipulation, value-added taxes and outright import bans.
While Trump had telegraphed his intention to "rebalance" U.S. trade policy, the specific duty levels, some of which reached into the mid-30% range with key trading partners, jolted investors.
Under the new framework, China, which Trump said imposes tariffs as high as 67% on American goods, will now face reciprocal U.S. duties of approximately 37%. The European Union, which applies a 39% combined rate including VATs, will be subject to a 20% U.S. tariff. Japan, with an estimated 46% trade barrier, now faces a 24% duty on exports to the U.S.
Canada and Mexico, two major trading partners, were notably excluded from the tariff program — a move that suggests Trump may be preserving the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, at least for now.
The White House confirmed that new trade tariffs will take effect on April 9. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Spark After-Hours Chaos: Index Futures Dive</h3>
The market&#8217;s reaction was swift and brutal. By 5:10 p.m. ET, futures on the S&amp;P 500 dropped 2.5%, while Nasdaq 100 futures fell 3.3%. Dow Jones Industrial Average contracts lost 1.4% and the Russell 2000 futures collapsed by 4.7%. 
Losses were broad-based. Every major sector of the S&amp;P 500 was in the red, with Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) and Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) down about 3%.
As risk appetite evaporated, gold prices climbed. Futures on the yellow metal gained 1.1%, extending their year-to-date advance as investors sought shelter from escalating geopolitical and trade tensions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tech Megacaps Bear the Brunt</h3>
The Magnificent Seven stocks, the market's dominant tech names, are on track to lose a combined $685 billion.

'Amazon Eyes Used-Car Sales' - Automotive News

President Donald Trump's decision to slap tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China includes levies on auto imports from all three countries. Additionally, 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum were tacked on and triggered on March 12.
S&amp;P Global said the most likely scenario is an "extended disruption period lasting 16 to 20 weeks," with "several high exposure vehicles" either slowing or ceasing production.
That's bad news for many car makers, who ship steel, parts and even whole vehicles across North America before they're sold. 
But look deeper and some sectors of the auto industry may actually prosper from these tariffs.
Here are four car companies set to benefit from the tariff tit-for-tat. 
Market experts say disruption is the rule going forward across the globe – and with American and European automakers looking better going forward.
"Trump&#8217;s tariffs on steel, aluminum, and Chinese imports are placing production expense on American automakers, constricting margins for foreign-part-dependent companies," said Fei Chen, founder and CEO at Intellectia.AI, a financial intelligence company.
"Diversified Japanese and European automakers are less impacted. Chinese automakers, especially BYD and Geely, could benefit most as China doubles down on domestic EV manufacturing and export efforts, focusing on tariff-friendly markets in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America," Chen said.
High tariff activity is causing automaker CEOs to alter their strategic planning, which casts additional clouds on auto stocks.
"Right now, the administration's tariffs are forcing automakers to examine their supply base to see what the easiest shifts may be to ease some of the burden on what components are produced where," said Brian Sponheimer, portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds. "For production of full product lines to be moved from Mexico or Canada to the US, the cost would be measured in billions, so automakers must choose whether that cost makes sense on a long-term basis given the potential for a tariff increase that may not be measured in multiple years."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Auto Stocks To Test Drive In 2025</h2>
In such a chaotic sector environment, which auto stocks stand out during the tariff wars? Here's what industry experts have to say.
Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) – Tesla hasn't gotten off to a great start, but tariffs may give the stock a much-needed tune-up. "Love it or hate it, they&#8217;re the EV champs," said Alex Black, chief marketing officer at EpicVIN. "Tariff-free importation of strategic battery components plus brand loyalty will sustain them."
Toyota (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) This Japanese automaker should continue to thrive mainly due to its diverse supply base and strong hybrid offerings, making Toyota "tariff and rising production cost-resistant," Chen said.
BYD (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) The Chinese giant EV maker, with strong demand, is growing in Europe and Latin America. "They&#8217;re vertically integrated, so they have cost control superior to most," Black said.
Chen agreed. "As the automaker expanding beyond U.S. borders, it's escaping tariffs as it capitalizes on global EV demand." 
General Motors (NYSE: GM), a home grown legend, GM has based its domestic production in Detroit MI, and "now it's in prime position to be at the forefront of production locally and to combat the challenges that most other car manufacturers will face among these new regulations," said Lucas Barcelo, founder at Thrivin Life, an automation and analytics marketing company.
"GM has a good diversified supply chain, their domestic production will allow them to mitigate tariff impact, they have remained relatively financially strong over the years, and now we'll get to see how they adapt and innovate among big changes &#8211; this is their chance to shine," Barcelo added.
Used car specialists: Tariffs raise costs, making consumers less likely to purchase a new vehicle.
"This makes stocks that generate profits from the used vehicle market and through service and parts more likely to benefit on a relative basis," Sponheimer said. "We have long appreciated the dealer model that AutoNation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AN#NYSE">AN</a>) and Penske (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAG#NYSE">PAG</a>) employ, driving over half of gross profits from parts and service."
Additionally, CarMax (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMX#NYSE">KMX</a>) will likely experience an inflection in the addressable market for late-model used vehicles starting in 2H, Sponheimer added. "With more consumers looking to purchase used vehicles, the company should benefit from volatility in the new market." 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Takeaway On Tariffs And Auto Stocks</h2>
When kicking tires on auto stocks, extend that research into auto aftermarket companies, which tend to get overlooked by investors.
"The US new vehicle market is in the range of 15-17 million units in a typical year, and the used market is 40 million in annual sales, and the total vehicle population in the United States is over 290 million vehicles," Sponheimer said.
He likes companies that service the larger, less cyclical total vehicle population, where the average vehicle age is nearing 13 years old.
"These vehicles require service, particularly as complexity has skyrocketed," Sponheimer noted. "So this automotive aftermarket produces outstanding business models with outstanding cash flow characteristics."
Additionally, the aftermarket tends to be an area where inflationary pressure can be passed along. "This is typically a fertile fishing ground for auto stocks," he added.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions are not the sole determinant of investment choices, but they are a factor worth considering.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Unlocking the Meaning of Transaction Codes</h3>
Taking a closer look at transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, meticulously cataloged in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A signifies a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
