(BFM Stock Exchange) – The Parisian star index continues its slide to close under the 8,000 points, this Thursday, March 27, while Donald Trump decided to establish customs duties on all world automotive imports.

The customs risk again reminded the good memories of the markets. Logically, the Paris Stock Exchange has still been weighted by the new customs duties announced by Donald Trump.

The United States will establish additional customs duties of 25% on all automotive imports from April 3. Global taxation will increase to 27.5%. This rate will also apply to trucks and key parts of cars, such as engines, or electrical components. The spare parts will be taxed within a longer period, namely by May 3.

Donald Trump also threatened the European Union and Canada with additional customs duties if they came to coordinate to retaliate to these customs surcharges. “The volatility of the market has been re -expressed by customs taxes on the automobile” observes UBS.

President Trump “said this measure would promote growth in the automotive industry by encouraging companies to set up more factories in the United States,” said the Swiss bank.

“However, customs duties could also disrupt supply chains, discourage investments and considerably increase consumer prices, while risking triggering commercial conflicts with Europe, Japan and South Korea,” she adds.

On the values ​​side, Stellantis suffered without surprise from the announcement of customs duties, and sold 4.25% while Renault gained 0.55%. The diamond group is absent from the American market or, more precisely, is only indirectly exposed to it via its participation in Nissan.

Air France-KLM sold 4.3% weighted by a change of recommendation from Deutsche Bank which went to “sell” on the value. The German bank fears that economic pressures come to hinder the progress of the Franco-Dutch company.
