******** automotive stocks fall after EU slaps China with EV tariffs

The ********* Union raised tariffs on China-made electric vehicles to as high as 45.3%, concluding an anti-subsidy probe that had divided member states and prompted counter measures from Beijing.

A number of ******** EV stocks were down, including Nio, which fell about 6%; Geely, which fell about 4.7%; and Li Auto, which fell 2.6%.

The new duties will range from 7.8% for Tesla to 35.3% for China-based SAIC, on top of the EU’s existing 10% car import duty.

The dollar’s value could wane under a Trump presidency, investor warns

Some investors believe that under a Trump presidency, higher interest rates and inflation could lead to a more expensive dollar. But Erik Knutzen, co-chief investment officer of Neuberger Berman’s Multi-Asset Strategies, says that the dollar could actually decline under a Trump administration.

“The dollar did rally through the end of the year after the surprise win of Trump in 2016, but the dollar declined in value for 2017 when Trump was enacting the policies that were supposedly going to be more inflationary and cause higher interest rates,” he said on CNBC’s “The Exchange” on Tuesday afternoon. “Trump and his cohort actually would like to see a weaker dollar to support the ********* economy. Yes, the dollar may have some short-term impetus, but frankly you could probably fade that trade if Trump is not elected.”

Knutzen added that the dollar will probably weaken in the near term in the scenario that Trump loses the November election.

“When we look at the valuations of a lot of companies, they look absurdly cheap,” he added.

Kato also revealed sectors – and stocks – he is ******** on right now.
