Stellantis says it will lose $2.7b, partly because of tariffs. Jeeps may be all-terrain vehicles, but the company that makes them is struggling in the current market landscape. Yesterday, the automaker announced a surprise loss for the first half of the year, fueled in part by a $350 million hit from new US tariffs and costly turnaround efforts at the company. A 25% tariff on imported cars and auto parts took effect on April 2, and the company said its shipments to North America declined by 25% in the second quarter compared to the same period last year. A company exec said Stellantis would likely have to raise car prices soon, noting “tariffs are inherently inflationary.” It was the car company’s first earnings report released under its new CEO, who took over last month.

Oil slips as little impact seen from EU sanctions on Russia

Oil prices settled slightly lower on Monday as the latest European sanctions on Russian oil were expected to have minimal impact on supplies, but losses were curbed by investors weighing a potential drop in diesel supplies.
Brent crude futures settled down 7 cents, or 0.1%, to $69.21 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude settled down 14 cents, or 0.2%, to $67.20.
The European Union approved on Friday the 18th package of sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine, which also targeted India's Nayara Energy, an exporter of oil products refined from Russian crude.
"The market right now thinks that supply will still make it to market in one way, shape or another. There is not too much concern," said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital in New York.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that Russia had built up a certain immunity to Western sanctions.
The EU sanctions followed U.S. President Donald Trump's threats last week to impose sanctions on buyers of Russian exports unless Russia agrees to a peace deal within 50 days.

U.S. stocks kicked off trade Monday with modest gains ahead of earnings from crucial tech players later this week as traders also kept an eye on tensions between the White House and the Federal Reserve and continued to monitor trade negotiations.
"Big banks kicked off earnings season on a mostly positive note last week, but tech and AI enthusiasm played a bigger role in helping some of the major indexes tag more record highs," said Chris Larkin, managing director for trading and investing at E-Trade from Morgan Stanley, in a note. The Nasdaq ended Friday at a record, while the S&P 500 notched a record finish on Thursday.
