Investors are also looking ahead to the Federal Reserve’s two-day policy meeting kicking off April 30th. Analysts are widely expecting the central bank to hold interest rates steady for the sixth straight meeting.
In other news – China announced it would be removing restrictions on Tesla’s electric vehicles after the company passed data security requirements. The news is a likely precursor to Tesla’s Full Self Driving becoming available in the country.
Full self driving is an upgrade to Tesla’s autopilot feature – and while it’s been offered in china for several years, it has come with limitations. But now the Elon Musk-led company could be allowed to unleash the full version.
Tesla has also allegedly struck a deal with China’s Baidu, which would allow Tesla to use its mapping and navigation technology. Baidu’s mapping service license would be needed in order to fully roll out the Full Self Driving feature.
Tesla and China’s BYD have been jostling for the title of world’s best-selling EV maker – with Tesla reclaiming the top spot earlier in April.
That’ll do it for your daily briefing – from the New York Stock Exchange, I’m Caroline Woods with TheStreet.
