Homebuilders slide after Trump administration announces a 20% tariff on Canadian lumber (PHM, DHI, KBH, TOL, LEN)

Homebuilding stocks are sliding on Tuesday morning, with the S&P 500 Homebuilding Index down 1.4%, after US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said his agency will impose a 20% tariff on Canadian softwood lumber imports.
