Stock market recovers

The stock market rally opened lower on the back of a hot producer price index and lower-than-expected jobless claims. That continues the trend of generally strong economic data, including Tuesday’s CPI inflation report. The major indexes fell to lows, but faded again in the last hour of trading. Bullard’s rate hike comments on the Fed and TSLA stock could be the catalyst for the late afternoon slide.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.3% on Thursday stock market trading. The S&P 500 index fell 1.4%. The Nasdaq composite fell 1.8 percent. The Russell 2000 small-cap index fell nearly 1%.

Louis Fed’s Bullard said on Thursday afternoon that he is willing to raise rates by 50 basis points. Bullard is one of the Fed’s more hawkish policymakers and the most eager to make big moves. But markets are still pricing in 1/4 point moves in February and March, while leaning another point in June or July.

Tesla FSD recall

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported Thursday that the Tesla Full Self-Driver allows a vehicle to “exceed the speed limit or pass through intersections in an illegal or impractical manner.” anticipating (that) increases the risk of collision.”

NHTSA said about 362,758 Tesla vehicles may be affected. Tesla, which appears to have objected to some of the findings, will execute the recall via an over-the-air software patch.

CEO Elon Musk has criticized calling the move a recall, saying it is “outdated and completely wrong!”

NHTSA is conducting a wide-ranging investigation into Tesla’s FSD and Autopilot driver assistance systems, including crashing into stationary vehicles and virtual braking. The Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation into Tesla’s self-driving car claims. But there is no timeline for when those investigations might end or whether regulators will take any action against Tesla.

Musk has claimed for years that Tesla will achieve fully autonomous driving “within this year”. But even FSD Beta is only a Level 2 driver assistance system.

Tesla shares fell 5.7% to 202.04 on Thursday. The stock fell slightly initially, but selling increased at the close. It’s unclear whether TSLA stock is driving the overall market down or vice versa.

But the stock is still up 2.6% for the week and has nearly doubled from its January 6 bear market low of 101.81. TSLA stock has approached the 200-day moving average, a clear resistance area.

Tesla shares fell slightly after closing in positive trade.

Analysis of market recovery

The stock market rally has alternated between resilience and strength in February despite mixed earnings and economic data.

The major indexes were down on Thursday, but all are continuing to trade within a recent range since early February. The Dow Jones has dipped below the 21-day line, but is still holding the 50-day line.

A longer pause for the market rally would be fine.

Some other stocks give buy signal, such as Albemarle (ALB), Iridic (IRDM) And Cisco system (CSCO). Many other recent momentums are holding up well, including global foundry (GFS), Network Arista (NET) And monster beverage (MNST).

There are some notable losers, including Shopify (SHOP) And Grill (TOST) on income. But the general trend is favorable.

Lots of other leaders are setting in. If the market rally breaks out of the recent pause, many of these names are likely to break out or trigger early entries.

Keep in mind that a stock market rally can shift from a “half-full” mentality to a sell-off in the face of uneven or ugly earnings reports and economic data. The rally in Treasury yields and the dollar could start to become a bigger problem.
