German auto and truck maker Daimler AG (NASDAQOTH:DDAIF) cut its 2018 profit expectations, warning that new tariffs on vehicles exported from the United States to China are likely to hurt sales of the high-profit Mercedes-Benz SUVs it builds in Alabama for global markets.

More broadly, Daimler's profit warning is also a warning to investors in other automakers: The end of the global auto-sales boom may not be far away.
