Before Teslas April delivery report and first-quarter results were released, UBS and Redburn Atlantic reiterated their sell ratings on Tesla due to sluggish Model Y delivery forecasts and a lack of growth catalysts in the near term. UBS lowered Teslas target price by $24 to $225, while Redburn was more pessimistic, with a target price of $160. "We expect sales to stagnate this year without the upcoming new cars," wrote Redburn analyst Adrian Yanoshik. "So far, the sluggish new car registration data may indicate continued demand challenges. At the same time, we expect cash flow to be affected by the new Model Y model that began delivery in March due to increased inventory. The United States may impose tariffs on goods imported from Mexico, increasing the cost burden." Teslas stock price plummeted more than 13% on Monday, and has fallen more than 40% so far this year. If the trend fails to reverse, the stock may fall for the eighth consecutive week after the surge triggered by the US election, the companys longest (weekly) consecutive decline in 15 years.The three major U.S. stock indices opened lower and fell throughout the day, with the Nasdaqs losses widening to 4%, the S&P 500 down 2.52%, and the Dow down 1.48%; Tesla (TSLA.O) fell 13.4%.The European Commission has expressed concerns that the companies involved may have violated EU antitrust rules, which prohibit cartels and restrictive practices, as well as abuse of market dominance.

Before US Retail Sales, the US Dollar Index declines from a multi-year high due to cautious optimism

Bulls of the US Dollar Index (DXY), which hit a 19-year high earlier in the day at 108.65, find it difficult to gain momentum during Friday's Asian session.

 

The dollar index increased to a multi-year high against the six major currencies in reaction to recession fears and worries about the Federal Reserve's rapid rate hikes. However, the price decrease from the previous day was brought on by recent inconsistencies in Fedspeak and US statistics.

 

Among the most notable Fed speakers who sought to downplay the probability of an increase in interest rates were Christopher Waller, governor of the Federal Reserve, and James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Bullard of the Fed, however, noted that "up to this point, we've framed this conversation exclusively in terms of 50 vs 75." Reuters quotes Fed's Waller as saying that markets may have anticipated a 100 basis point rate increase in July too soon. It should be noted that the Federal Reserve will observe a blackout period before the July 28 Federal Open Market Committee meeting starting this weekend (FOMC).

 

The Producer Price Index (PPI) for final demand in the US increased to 11.3 percent on an annual basis in June, up from 10.9 percent in May, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. This outcome was higher than the 10.7% market expectation. In addition, compared to the previous week's total of 235,000 and the market's projection of 235,000, there were 244,000 first claims for unemployment benefits for the week ending July 9. The number of weekly claims for unemployment rose to its highest level in five months.

 

It should be recalled that the previous day, DXY bulls were under pressure due to the shrinking spread between the 2-year and 10-year US Treasury rates. While 2-year bond coupons decreased by 0.75 percent to 3.12 percent, 10-year US Treasury rates finished Thursday at 2.95 percent, up 0.95 percent from the previous day. As a result, the difference between the coupons of short-term and long-term bonds shrank from 23 basis points (bps) on Tuesday to 17 bps.

 

The Wall Street benchmark had a mixed performance as a result of these moves, and as of press time, S&P 500 Futures had also seen moderate increases.

 

It will be vital to follow US Retail Sales, which are predicted to grow 0.8 percent MoM in June from -0.3 percent in May, in addition to watching Fed speakers for new encouragement. The Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (CSI) preliminary readings for July, which are forecast to be 49.9 vs. 50.0 before, should therefore be watched for certain signs of future changes.
