Apple Cuts iPhone Air Production Amid Low Demand

Apple is drastically reducing production of the iPhone Air due to poor sales and low demand, especially outside China, with production orders expected to drop to less than 10% of September levels. Despite its innovative design and features, the iPhone Air has not attracted significant customer interest, leading Apple to focus more on the traditional iPhone 17 and Pro models. This trend mirrors Samsung's struggles with its Galaxy S25 Edge, which also saw low sales and halted production.

Tesla's China Production Cut Signals Demand Concerns

Tesla reduces production at its Shanghai factory amid slowing EV demand in China, potentially heading towards a first-quarter delivery miss and announcing vehicle price increases, leading to a drop in stock value. The company is facing weakening demand in China, Europe, and other key markets, with its Shanghai exports to Europe declining and the Berlin factory running below capacity. Analysts have lowered delivery forecasts, and Tesla's stock performance has been declining, with UBS cutting its price target and delivery forecasts, and Morgan Stanley projecting potential earnings declines and a decrease in price target.

"Ford Adjusts Production Amid Shifting EV Demand"

Ford Motor announced a reduction in production of its F-150 Lightning pickup truck due to lower-than-expected demand for electric vehicles (EVs), with plans to cut production at its Michigan Rouge Electric Vehicle Center to one shift starting April 1. The move comes amidst signs of slowing demand for EV trucks, with Ford selling 24,165 F-150 Lightning trucks in the US last year, up 55% over 2022. The production cut impacts 1,400 workers at the plant, with some transferring to other facilities or taking advantage of a special retirement program. Ford also plans to increase production of gas-powered Bronco SUVs and Ranger pickups, while the broader automotive industry is grappling with proposed emissions regulations and shifting investment priorities.

"Ford's EV Transition Woes: Lightning Production Cuts and Job Layoffs"

Ford announced a reduction in production of its F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck due to matching production with customer demand, signaling a slower-than-expected transition to electric vehicles (EVs) in the automotive industry. Despite initial aggressive targets, the growth rate of EVs is slowing, leading traditional carmakers like Ford to scale back their EV production plans. This decision impacts the automotive industry's shift to EVs, including Ford's operations in Kentucky, and raises questions about the future of EV investments and production in the region.

"Ford Slashes F-150 Lightning Truck Production Amid Weak EV Demand"

Ford is reducing production of its F-150 Lightning pickup truck due to weakening demand for electric vehicles, with plans to cut production at its Michigan plant and add a third crew for gas-powered Bronco SUVs and Ranger pickups. This move comes amid Detroit automakers' protests against the Biden Administration's emissions proposals, and former President Donald Trump's vow to reverse the electric vehicle rules. Ford expects continued growth in global EV sales in 2024, but less than anticipated, and is focusing on hybrid models as buyers show more interest in those over all-electric vehicles.

Ford Slashes F-150 Lightning Production by Half Amidst Decreased Demand

Ford plans to reduce production of its F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck by half in 2024, aiming to manufacture approximately 1,600 trucks per week instead of the previously planned 3,200, due to changing market demand. This decision reflects a trend among automakers, including Ford, General Motors, and Volkswagen, who have scaled back their electrification plans in response to weaker-than-expected demand for electric vehicles. Despite the overall health of the electric car market, automakers are adjusting their production levels to match customer demand.

Saudi Aramco's Q2 profit plummets due to lower oil prices

Saudi Aramco, the state oil giant, reported a 38% drop in net profit for the second quarter due to lower crude oil prices and weakening refining and chemicals margins. The company's net profit of $30.07 billion came slightly above analyst expectations. The decline in profitability is in line with industry trends, as other oil giants like BP, ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies also reported steep drops in earnings. Saudi Arabia's production cut of 1 million barrels per day, in effect since July, has added pressure on prices, but oil prices are expected to increase in the coming quarters due to strong demand and OPEC+ supply deficits.

"Saudi Arabia Extends 1 Million-Barrel Oil Cut, Fueling Oil Market Uncertainty"

Saudi Arabia will extend its voluntary 1 million barrel per day crude oil production cut into September, marking the third consecutive month of such declines. The cut, which can be extended or deepened, is in addition to other voluntary production declines implemented by some OPEC members until the end of 2024. The decision comes as oil prices remain relatively stable, with expectations of increased demand in the second half of 2023 potentially leading to supply tightness.

Mixed Reactions to Saudi Arabia's Surprise Oil Cut in OPEC+ Meeting.

Saudi Arabia surprised OPEC+ members by keeping its plan to make a deep cut to its own oil output during a weekend of talks in Vienna under wraps, with some member states only learning about the reduction from the final news conference. The Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman announced the output cut after the meeting, calling it a "Saudi lollipop". Saudi Arabia said it would cut output in July by 10% or 1 million barrels per day (bpd) to 9 million bpd and may extend cuts further if needed. Meanwhile, OPEC+ agreed to extend cuts into 2024 but didn't commit to any fresh cuts in 2023.
