Tesla shares jump 10% on news of possible tariff relief for autos

Tesla shares have been on a brutal nine-week losing streak.

Tesla’s stock leaped just over 10% by Monday afternoon, bouncing back after weeks of losses.

The rally puts Tesla in the lead among the historically high-flying “Magnificent 7” tech stocks, which have also had a tough start to the year. Stocks are climbing on hopes that President Trump won’t follow through with his most aggressive tariffs in April on Mexico and Canada, which would hurt car companies heavily.

Tesla may also be getting a boost from reports that the company will roll out its driving assistance feature in China after the tech gets regulatory approval. Despite the bounce, Tesla shares are still down 28% this year.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
