Trump Tariffs Hit Luxury & Tech, AB Inbev Could Benefit

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- The Stoxx Europe 600 opened 1.8% lower with cyclical sectors leading declines. Miners, banks, industrials and consumers are falling 2.5% or more. There are concerns for Pandora’s manufacturing base of Thailand which Trump hit with a 36% tariff. Defensive sectors such as utilities, food and beverages, real estate, health care and personal care are in the green.
- Logitech shares sink as much as 12%, the most in over a year, hit by escalating trade tensions from the US. The computer peripherals firm is seen more sensitive to higher tariffs as it generates bulk of sales from the US and owns production facilities in China.
- Morgan Stanley analyst Sarah Simon sees AB Inbev as a potential beneficiary of these tariffs, given that the additional charges will likely render imported beer more expensive for the consumer. That could prompt market share loss for imported beers/improved market share for ABI in the US.
