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.

China's Perspective And Supply Fears After The Turkey Earthquake Boost Oil Prices

Oil prices increased for a second consecutive session on Tuesday, pushed by optimism on the recovery of demand in China and concerns over supply shortages caused by the closure of a major export terminal in Turkey following an earthquake.


By 3:00 GMT, Brent crude futures increased 82 cents, or 1.01%, to $81.81 per barrel, whereas West Texas Intermediate futures rose 82 cents, or 1.10%, to $74.93 per barrel.


Edward Moya, an analyst at OANDA, commented, "Crude prices are increasing due to anticipation that China's economic rebound will gain traction and supply disruptions caused by the earthquake that rocked Turkey."


The International Energy Agency (IEA) anticipates that China will account for half of this year's global oil demand growth, the agency's head stated on Sunday, adding that jet fuel demand is soaring.


Saudi Arabia, the largest oil exporter in the world, increased the price of its flagship crude for Asian clients for the first time in six months in anticipation of a rebound in oil demand, particularly from China.


After a strong earthquake struck the region, operations at the 1 million barrel per day (bpd) oil export facility in Ceyhan, Turkey, were suspended. The BTC terminal, which sells crude oil from Azerbaijan to foreign markets, will be closed from February 6 to 8.


Daniel Hynes, senior commodity analyst at ANZ bank in Sydney, cited the suspension of Phase 1 of the Johan Sverdrup oil field in Norway's portion of the North Sea as a major price mover.


Wednesday's speech by U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will be eagerly monitored by the oil markets, analysts say. Typically, interest rate increases boost the dollar, which could increase the price of crude for non-American purchasers.


Tina Teng, an analyst at CMC Markets, said, "The comeback in oil prices is more of a cautious move ahead of Fed Powell's speech tomorrow, when the Fed chairman may provide additional hints on the future rate hike path."
