1053 ET - Suppliers of auto parts are less likely than automakers to shift production domestically as a result of Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariff on cars and auto parts made outside of the U.S., UBS analysts say in a research note. Most of their parts are compliance with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, which offers protection from the levies, the analysts say. If those exemptions are removed, the suppliers would raise prices and likely take a hit on demand, as would the rest of the auto industry, the analysts say. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
