TSLA stock futures slipped 0.4% on news of short-term raw material price hikes. Macro traders note potential margin compression, yet EV sector indices remain resilient, hinting at recovery potential if commodity futures stabilize in the coming sessions. News of Musk’s purchase helped boost Tesla shares by an overall 4%, which eradicated Tesla’s tough stock losses of late. As Dan Ives, a tech analyst with Wedbush Securities put it, the move “sends a positive signal after a very tumultuous year for Musk and Tesla shareholders.” He said that while some of the policies on big tech might continue, we would likely see a friendlier climate towards M&A activity and new technology in fintech, healthcare tech, and energy. The various factors are thus coming together well, especially in the world of venture capital. While it has not been all that vibrant there in the past few years, things are starting to turn around now. TSLA stock futures posted a 0.7% gain to $202.10 as sector analysts highlight strong EV adoption trends in Southeast Asia. Futures traders weigh regional catalysts alongside USD movements, given Tesla’s revenue exposure to international markets.
