U.S. Stocks Halt Four-Day Decline, NIO Plummets, Apple Demand Dips 

2023-09-26 | Daily Analysis , Daily Insight , FTSE China A50 Index , HK Stocks , US Stocks

U.S. stocks saw a modest rise on Monday, breaking the four-day downward streak in major indices.  

As September’s final week begins, the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds is climbing, with the 10-year bond yield hitting a new high not seen since 2007.  

This week, the market continues to monitor events like the ongoing strike by U.S. autoworkers and the potential government shutdown. 

The yield on U.S. government bonds continues to climb, with the 10-year bond yield briefly reaching 4.548%, marking a new high since 2007.  

The rising long-term bond yields are creating tension in the market. Bank of America strategists stated they have no evidence to suggest that the uptrend in the 10-year bond yield has ended and believe the increase will persist long-term. 

U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Barclays recently maintained a “neutral” rating for Tesla and set a 12-month target price of $260.  

Analysts predict that Tesla will deliver 455,000 vehicles in the third quarter, slightly below the market consensus of 463,000 and the previously announced 483,000 expectations. This forecast also indicates a decrease compared to the second-quarter deliveries of 466,000 vehicles in 2023. 

Amazon is set to invest up to $4 billion in Anthropic and has announced broader cooperation in the future to compete in the growing field of artificial intelligence against increasing rivals. 

NIO saw a nearly 10% drop as they celebrated the production of their 500,000th vehicle with the assembly of an Ideal L7. Since the production of their first vehicle, the Ideal ONE, in November 2019, it took NIO 47 months to reach this milestone, making them the first Chinese electric vehicle startup to achieve this.
