CNBC Daily Open: Tesla's bad things come in threes
Tesla's going through a bumpy ride. The electric vehicle company on Wednesday reported a second consecutive quarter of declining auto sales. In Europe, Tesla's market share fell for the sixth straight month to 2.8% in June from 3.4% a year ago. The Trump administration's plans to reportedly roll back the U.S.' push for cleaner vehicles will probably hit Tesla further. A $7,500 EV tax credit in the U.S. will expire at the end of September, indirectly raising the cost of Tesla vehicles. Meanwhile, traditional carmakers will no longer need to purchase EV regulatory credits from Tesla — which receives them for free because its vehicles are completely electric — as the Trump administration intends to stop fining traditional carmakers for missing emission standards. That means Tesla will soon lose a source of revenue. They say bad things come in threes. Here's the last. While Tesla's bitcoin holding is currently worth $1.24 billion, according to its investor deck, it could have been worth billions more. In 2022, the company dumped 75% of its bitcoin. The cryptocurrency is trading at roughly $118,000 now. When Tesla sold its holdings, it was trading at around $19,000. If there's any consolation, even though U.S. President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" will affect Tesla, Trump said on Thursday it wasn't a targeted measure. "I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before!" Whether Trump's sentiments can help pave a smoother road for Tesla, though, is another spars with Powell during Fed visit. The U.S. President went back and forth with the Federal Reserve chair over Trump's claims about cost overruns at the Fed headquarters. But Trump said he doesn't think it's "necessary" to fire Powell. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite close at new records. Both indexes were boosted by Alphabet's better-than-expected earnings. The Stoxx Europe 600 index added 0.24%, paring earlier gains as the European Central Bank kept rates at 2%. Tesla shares sink 8%. That drop was triggered after the company on Wednesday reported a second straight quarter of declining auto sales. Tesla also dumped 75% of its bitcoin at one of the worst times. Intel's second-quarter revenue beats estimates. But the chipmaker reported a net loss of $2.9 billion due to an $800 million impairment charge. Intel's new CEO Lip-Bu Tan also announced big spending cuts in the company's foundry business. [PRO] An Indian company bets on weight-loss drugs.

Leaving, but not letting go — India's wealthy move abroad, but stay invested India is home to 85,698 individuals with assets exceeding $10 million, according to a recent report from Knight Frank. That accounts for 3.7% of the global population with that net worth, more than the U.K.'s 2.4%, but less than China's 20.1%.

GM CFO looks to strategic pricing, costs to blunt $1.1B tariff impact
This story was originally published on CFO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CFO Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: General Motors executives highlighted trade deals between Canada, Mexico and South Korea as important to its outlook as it navigates what CFO Paul Jacobson called a 'dynamic' tariff environment, with the automaker reporting a $1.1 billion net tariff impact for its second quarter ended June 30. The impact was slightly lower than expected, with the Detroit-based automaker anticipating such costs will therefore be slightly higher for its next quarter, Jacobson said Tuesday during the company's Q2 earnings call. GM has continued to import vehicles from South Korea, as they are 'contribution-margin positive and they're very much in demand,' CEO Mary Barra said. 'We're not speculating on what those are going to look like going forward, but there is a possibility and a likelihood, if you will, that ultimately a tariff rate gets set at a lower level, which would ultimately bring that impact down,' Jacobson said regarding deals with the three countries. Dive Insight: GM is one of several automakers looking to mitigate the effects from tariff uncertainty as the Trump administration presses on with a trade war involving key trade partners. That includes a back-and-forth between Canada and Mexico regarding levies on steel imports, which the U.S. hiked to 50% in May, CFO Dive sister publication Supply Chain Dive previously reported. The Trump administration in recent days has negotiated a new trade framework with Indonesia and reached terms for a tariff agreement with Japan, which would set a 15% levy on imports from the country including for cars and auto parts, Supply Chain Dive reported. South Korea, a critical exporter of semiconductors, automobiles and smartphones, is set to hold high-level talks with the U.S. on July 25 in an attempt to reach a compromise, Bloomberg reported. The talks are scheduled to occur before Aug. 1, when the U.S. plans to impose a 25% tariff on critical imports. Exports made up 40% of South Korea's gross domestic product last year. Tariffs on South Korea imports would constitute a significant portion of the overall trade impact GM forecasts for 2025, Jacobson said Tuesday. The company anticipates from $4 billion to $5 billion in gross impact from import duties during 2025, he said in response to analyst questions. The automaker expects roughly $2 billion will involve South Korea. GM is taking steps to blunt some of the disruption, including making some 'short-term shifts' in production to the U.S., Barra said in response to questions. The company expects to be able to mitigate around 30% of its projected gross tariff impact through 'strategic actions such as manufacturing adjustments, targeted cost initiatives and consistent pricing,' Jacobson said. 'Over time, we remain confident that our total tariff expense will come down as bilateral trade deals emerge, and our sourcing and production adjustments are implemented,' Jacobson said. While the automaker continued to handle tariff uncertainty and other challenges — for example, increased competition contributed to moderation for its fleet pricing in the quarter, according to its earnings report — GM also reported strong growth across its brands, contributing to record revenue of $91 billion for the first half of the year. The automaker saw particularly robust demand for its electric vehicles: Q2 EV sales rose by 111% year-over-year, representing 16% of the U.S. EV market, according to its earnings presentation. Chevrolet EVs — which are now the second top selling such vehicle in the U.S — rose by 146% YoY for the quarter. 'I want to be clear that our EV journey is about giving consumers choice. And over the last few years, a steady number of consumers are choosing electric vehicles,' Jacobson said of GM's EV offerings, noting the automaker sees 'significant growth potential.' With the company having built out a 'robust' portfolio of EVs, 'our investment focus has turned to driving down costs and improving profitability,' he said. The results come as the broader EV market continues to face challenges of its own. As part of the massive tax-and-spending bill recently signed into law by President Donald Trump, for example, a $7,500 EV tax credit for purchasers will end in September, which could lead to a spike in prices for such vehicles and undermine demand, CNBC reported. 'While we are still seeking further clarification on certain aspects, we anticipate these changes to have a minimal impact on our 2025 results,' Jacobson said of EV regulations.

The UAW Gets a Protectionist Lesson
Those who prosper by government protection can quickly end up suffering from it. The latest example is President Trump's trade deal with Japan, which has U.S. auto makers and United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain up in arms—and they have a point. Mr. Trump in April slapped 25% tariffs on autos and parts with exemptions for U.S.-made content. Mr. Fain cheered. But under the Japan deal, Japanese-made cars will pay a tariff of 15%, which is lower than the 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico. Because American auto plants rely heavily on parts from Canada and Mexico, the tariff cost on U.S.-made cars could be larger than on Japanese imports. A mooted deal with the European Union would also apply a 15% tariff on its car exports to the U.S. Mr. Fain is now grousing that the Japan deal 'hands a win to transnational automakers.' The lobby for U.S. car makers also isn't happy, saying in a statement that 'any deal that charges a lower tariff for Japanese imports with virtually no U.S. content than the tariff imposed on North American built vehicles with high U.S. content is a bad deal for U.S. industry and U.S. auto workers.'
