Tech Stocks Boosted by Powell 

Shares in Tesla are trading higher ahead of the open today. The stock is benefiting from a combination of factors currently. Dovish comments from Fed chairman Powell on Friday have fuelled a sharp repricing of US rates with the market now projecting a lengthy pause through to November at which point pricing suggests a rate cut is expected. Given the reversal in Fed expectations on the back of Powell’s comments, stocks have received fresh bullish impetus this week. Tech stocks are among those expected to benefit most with Tesla stock now up around 20% off the April lows as Musk’s company continue to claw back ground following the correction lower from YTD highs over recent months.

Cybertruck Details Add Lift 

Tesla stock is also benefiting from the latest update regarding the hotly anticipated cyber-truck. Musk detailed that the radically new design of the car meant devising a whole new set of manufacturing techniques to facilitate the build. Looking ahead, Musk noted plans to begin delivering the vehicles later this year with production targets set at around 250k units initially.
