U.S. stocks changed direction and erased early gains after the ISM manufacturing index came in lower than expected at 50.3, as new orders contracted and the price measure surged. Investors are also cautious ahead of planned tariffs on Mexico and Canada scheduled to come into effect on Tuesday.

The S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite and Dow Jones Industrial indexes were all slightly lower as of 11:10 a.m. ET. The shares of automakers, among the companies most-affected by the tariffs, nonetheless increased. Ford (F), which has plants in both Ontario and Mexico, gained 1.7%.

“We believe investors view the aluminum and steel U.S. import tariffs as probable, manageable, potentially favorable for domestic industries, with a precedent set in 2018 when such tariffs lasted only a year,” RBC analysts wrote last week. “We expect the tariffs’ influence on ‘Detroit 3' automakers to be delayed due to supply contracts and hedging.”
