10 Stocks Bear the Brunt of Trade Threats

8. The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA)

Boeing saw its share prices decline by 6.56 percent on Tuesday to finish at $158.9 apiece as investors were parked for safety amid the ongoing trade war between the United States and its trading partners.

BA, one of the largest aircraft makers globally, could bear the brunt of higher prices in raw materials to manufacture its aircraft and, potentially, lower sales from the aviation industry that is set to be significantly impacted by rising gasoline prices.

With the tariffs now in place, this could drive customers to its largest competitor, Airbus, which is headquartered in the Netherlands.

Previously, BA Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg said that any more tariffs could further hurt its sales in China, which is one of its largest markets.

Additionally, BA currently operates a composite parts factory in Canada, one of the countries facing US trade threats.
