TESLA INC. (NASDAQ:TSLA): Tesla's robotaxi late entry could face stiff competition next year

 


Tesla stock broke below key trendline supports at ~ $154.50 on Wednesday after being downgraded by Jefferies on concerns about Tesla's perpetual price cuts. The stock is now threatening to move down further to retest $135.13.

The good news is that Tesla could introduce their robotaxi in mid-2024, per Tasha Keeney, Director of Investment Analysis and Institutional Strategies at Ark Invest. Here's what Elon Musk told analysts during the Tesla Q1 2023 conference call, "So, there will be a like a Model 3 or Model Y would be a robotaxi, a robotic taxi."

By U.S. law, however, any individual or business that transports people for a fee in a for hire vehicle, such as a taxi or any other vehicle used for transporting passengers for payment MUST have a license. So, no one knows for certain how Tesla's robotaxi will work.

Meanwhile, competitors, all with level 4 autonomy, including GM's Cruise, Alphabet's Waymo One, Motional, Baidu's Apollo RT6, and AutoX, are already offering their ride-hailing services.

WTIC Light Crude Oil: WTI crude prices tumble after Goldman Sachs slashes their price forecast

Image
WTI crude prices took a 4.35% dive to close at $ 67 . 12 a barrel on Monday after Goldman Sachs revised down its WTI crude price forecast for December from $89 a barrel to $81, citing increasing supply and slower demand, per CNBC. WTI crude prices could fall further to retest a trendline support at ~ $6 4.30 a barrel if U.S. and China economic data remains soft.  It remains to be seen whether the one million barrels a day oil production cut by Saudi Arabia, starting in July, will have any impact on crude oil prices at this level.

SP500: Breakout-retest ahead of quadruple witching

Image
The S&P 500 bounced off the trendline support to close at 5, 638.94 on Friday , retesting the November '24 breakout. Note that the S&P 500 would be in correction territory if the index closed below 5,5 3 2.69 . Let's see whether the index can break above its 200-day EMA. It is quadruple witching next week and hence it could be very volatile. Be aware that the 2Y treasury yield is dip ping below its 600-day EMA, meaning the US could be entering a recession or already be in a recession. The current real GDP estimate for Q1 by the Atlanta Fed GDPNow stands at -2.4%. In the past 25 years, all three US recessions occurred after the 2Y treasury yield dropped below its 600-day EMA. This note contained herein is our opinion and should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell. Click here to view the latest update !
