Market Update: ABB Ltd’s Stock Price Remains Stable Amid Tariff Announcement
ABB Ltd, a Swiss multinational company, has maintained a relatively stable stock price despite the recent announcement by US President Donald Trump of a 39% tariff on Swiss imports.
The company has highlighted its high local production rate in the US, which is expected to mitigate the impact of the tariffs. This production strategy is designed to minimize the company’s exposure to potential trade disruptions.
