** Trump imposed tariffs on its top trading partners Canada and Mexico on Saturday, but later suspended them until Mar. 1
** Brokerage says glass bottles and jars maker O-I Glass Inc OI.N could also see impacts to its revenue from its Mexican glass bottle production unit
** Separately, BofA sees potential short-term disruptions in Mexican alcohol imports impacting companies like BALL and OI, but expects domestic brands to offset some losses by inventory management and shifts in market share
** Citigroup sees tariffs potentially increasing costs for Canadian-produced containerboard and pulp
** Similarly, BofA sees tariffs on Canadian pulp imports, especially NBSK pulp (made from softwood trees), driving up prices and potentially shifting the supply chain to alternative sources
