U.S. tariffs on Canadian automobiles now stand at 25%, with discounts for the U.S. content in cars, while steel tariffs are at 50%. Magna International, the largest auto-parts maker, is down 4%, while Linamar declined by 4.9%. Martinrea International shares are down 6.3%. (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
