Market Focus
11 hours ago

On September 9, Ford fell 3.18% in regular trading, trading at $13.555/share, with turnover of $7.48 billion. The decline was triggered by mounting political pressure over the company's commercial partnerships with Chinese enterprises.

US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent a letter to Ford CEO Jim Farley, expressing what he described as deep concerns over Ford's business relationships with Chinese companies including CATL, Geely, and BYD. Duffy characterized these partnerships as posing national security risks and urged Ford to sever the ties. Ford strongly rejected the allegations, calling the letter an ill-advised publicity stunt, and emphasized that the company is actively investing in domestic US battery production.

The political scrutiny compounds existing headwinds for Ford. The company recently pivoted its EV strategy by halting the pure-electric F-150 Lightning in favor of an extended-range variant, while its August US total sales declined 10.3% year-over-year and EV sales plunged 79% to just 2,197 units. Within the Automobile Manufacturers sector, Tesla edged up 0.04%, while General Motors fell 1.73%, Rivian dropped 1.27%, NIO declined 2.47%, and Ferrari slipped 0.9%.
