Stock futures were mostly higher on Thursday. This came after President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars. The news raised concerns about the U.S. and global economies. Several stocks were positioned to make significant moves, including Tesla, GM, Ford, and others.
Tesla (TSLA) was up 0.9% in premarket trading. Despite a 5.6% drop on Wednesday, the company is still in focus. Tesla assembles cars in the U.S., but some parts are imported. This makes Tesla vulnerable to tariffs.
