All three major indexes were heading for weekly gains before Friday's trading wiped them out.

For the week, the S&P 500 dropped 1.5%, the Dow fell 1%, and the NASDAQ tumbled 2.6%. First up, let's talk about the automakers.

S&P Global Mobility data says nearly half of new passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. last year were assembled outside

the country. Wedbush securities analysts called the tariffs a, quote, hurricane-like headwind

to foreign and many U.S. automakers, unquote. And that could push up the average price of a car sold in

the U.S. by as much as $10,000. General Motors shares have dropped 8% since the tariffs were announced.
