'Fastest Van' At the Nurburgring: Ford Stock (NYSE:F) Slips Despite Outlandish Win
Give legacy automaker Ford (F) credit: it is taking the credo of 'no boring cars' so seriously that it is almost frightening. In fact, Ford managed to make a Transit SuperVan surprisingly, well, surprising by putting it to the test on the Nurburgring track. It came away from that storied proving ground with a new record: the fastest van to ever see the track. Yet despite this, Ford stock slipped fractionally in Monday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. It was considered iconic when the Ford Transit van, driven by Sabine Schmitz on an episode of Top Gear, managed to post a lap time of 10:12. But recently, Romain Dumas took a similar run in Ford's electric vehicle (EV) demonstrator version of the SuperVan and pared over three minutes off Schmitz's time. The SuperVan came in at 6:48.42, which—and brace yourself for this—puts it between Chevrolet's (GM) Corvette ZR1X and a late-model representative from the Mercedes-AMG (MBGAF) GT Black Series. Admittedly, there were key differences that helped; the SuperVan made its run on slick tires, and was built as a 'purpose-built racing vehicle.' This forces observers to take the result with something of a grain of salt, even if the lap is still downright impressive by any standard for something that looks like, well, a van. Consider the 2025 Explorer With the end of the model year approaching, some car buyers are, perhaps, starting to wonder if they should buy a new car now or wait for the next model year to show up. And for the Ford Explorer—one of Ford's biggest names in SUV—that model year issue is particularly telling. The 2026 Explorer, reports note, will actually be less expensive than the 2025 model. Several new Explorers will be part of the lineup, including the Explorer Active at $38,330, the Platinum at $50,830, and the Tremor, taking over for the Timberline, that costs $48,330. But the 2025 models are often seeing price cuts, reports note, part of a clear-the-lot strategy. And in some cases, the 2025s may have better feature sets, which means a 2025 could prove a better value than its 2026 equivalent. Is Ford Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on F stock based on two Buys, nine Holds and three Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 6.72% rally in its share price over the past year, the average F price target of $10.74 per share implies 6% downside risk.

India removes import duty on cotton in temporary relief for garment industry
NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India has exempted import duties on cotton from August 19 to September 30, fulfilling the demand of industry groups who said exemptions would help make the sector more competitive. The temporary suspension of the duty, announced in a government order late on Monday, is seen as a relief for India's garment industry, which is reeling from a steep 50% tariff on shipments to the United States. The U.S. tariff comprises an existing 25% levy and an additional 25% set to take effect later this month, imposed as a penalty for India's purchases of Russian oil. The effective rate compares unfavourably with 20% for Bangladesh and Vietnam, and 30% for China. Industry bodies such as the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) had urged the government to scrap the cotton import duty to help make the sector more competitive. Before the exemption, cotton imports were subject to an 11% duty. Industry officials now expect the government to extend duty-free cotton imports beyond September. Reuters earlier reported that some Indian exporters were scrambling to explore manufacturing options overseas to offset the impact of the higher tariffs. India's garment sector was already grappling with a labour crunch and limited production capacity. The prospect of exporters relocating production abroad poses a further challenge to the government's "Make in India" manufacturing drive. India aims to increase textile exports to $100 billion by 2030. The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs comes just as India was emerging as a strong alternative for American garment buyers, with Bangladesh facing political uncertainty and companies seeking to diversify supply chains beyond China.

Wall Street sees stock market rotation charting 'healthiest path' to new highs
The stock market's rally to record highs has started to suggest some investors see life outside of the Big Tech names that have defined markets since 2023, as lagging sectors like Health Care (XLV) and Homebuilders (XHB) — as well as out-of-favor investments like small- and mid-cap stocks — have played a larger role in this summer's move. And some strategists see this rotation as an early sign that an even healthier market dynamic could be emerging. Scott Chronert, managing director of US equity strategy at Citi, sees this broader participation as framing out "two parallel paths" for the S&P 500 — one led by the AI-fueled growth giants and the other driven by more traditional sectors tied to the economy. "The simple answer is that we see ongoing Mega Cap Growth participation, if not leadership, but with fundamental and performance broadening creating a more durable structural setup," he said on Friday. "The healthiest path to higher index levels is a combination of Growth/Tech leadership persisting but with other areas of the market additive more so than has been the case this past year." Data from Bespoke Investment Group published Friday noted investors last week showed signs of moving out of 2025's biggest winners and into less-loved pockets of the market. Over the middle three trading days last week, Bespoke's work found stocks in the worst-performing decile this year among S&P 1500 companies were up an average of 6.7%; the best performers were up less than 1% over the same period. "When momentum names stall or sell-off, it can really hit the major indices hard if no other areas of the market are there to pick up the slack," Bespoke said. "But [last] week, the year's worst performers finally saw some buying interest as investors rotated across the market instead of out of it." Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research added that rising expectations for a September Fed rate cut helped fuel the shift, sparking a rotation from growth to value and from large caps to small- and mid-cap stocks. "We certainly welcome such a broadening," he wrote in a Sunday note to clients. 'Significant headwinds' remain Sean Simonds, US equities strategist at UBS, described the current broadening setup as "a mixed bag," noting that AI-driven momentum is starting to spill into other adjacent areas like software, power, and re-shoring. Simonds added that after a wave of downward earnings revisions earlier this year, earnings breadth has also shown signs of improving. However, areas such as consumer and healthcare remain weaker, even if the outlook there has turned "less negative." Gerry Fowler, head of European equity strategy at UBS, added that small-cap stocks in particular depend on a 'Goldilocks' scenario in which the Fed manages to cut rates without spooking markets. "If Powell is able to stay out of the headlines and deliver the September cut in line with expectations, there is room for the broader market to remain quite healthy," Fowler said. "On either side of Goldilocks, you've got significant headwinds for the Russell 2000." Read more: How the Fed rate decision affects your bank accounts, loans, credit cards, and investments Fowler's cautious note echoes a broader concern on Wall Street, which is that signs of rotation among styles and sectors overstate the extent to which this shift sees investors actually preferring to put more money behind new themes. DataTrek Research noted in a recent report that just two of the S&P 500's 11 sectors — Technology (XLK) and Industrials (XLI) — have outperformed since the index's April lows. The firm also noted that the top 20 names in the index, or nearly half the S&P 500 on a market cap basis, are up more than 40% on average over that period. That concentration means the durability of the rally may hinge on whether new pockets of strength can sustain recent momentum. Looking ahead, Simonds cautioned that momentum could stall if earnings expectations fade or if the Fed delivers a surprise that clashes with market expectations. "There's still the possibility of earnings expectations slowing into the second half of this year and first half of next year," he said. 'And any disappointment out of Jackson Hole or into the September Fed meeting will definitely take some wind out of the sails as well." Allie Canal is a Senior Reporter at Yahoo Finance.
