NASDAQ: TSLA | Tesla, Inc. News, Ratings, and Charts

TSLA – The June inflation report came hotter than expected, which could prompt the Fed to go ahead with another massive rate hike. However, experts still believe there are some opportunities for investors. And we think industry leaders Tesla (TSLA) and Sony Group (SONY) could help grow your portfolio. Read on…

The June consumer price index rose 9.1% on a year-over-year basis, marking the biggest increase since 1981. The hot inflation report is expected to prompt the Fed to deliver another 75 basis points rate hike.

Despite the dismal performance of the S&P 500 in the first half of this year, experts believe that there might be some signs of hope for investors. The major indices are expected to improve as buy-low opportunities become heavy on fears of further declines. The market is predicted to reach a bottom and stabilize sometime before 2023.

We think the fundamentally strong stocks Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) and Sony Group Corporation (SONY) are well-positioned to help grow your portfolio.
