Shorting a German Stock, Autos under preassure
Automakers are under pressure. Trump has been alerted by the US Commerce Department that imported cars pose a security threat to the US economy. We wonder what he will do about it. This will inevitably have a negative effect on Japanese and European automakers as vehicle exports play a large role in their respective economies.
Volkswagen AG (VOW)
This stock has been in a sideways consolidation for more than 3 quarters now. It is trading below the 200day EMA and is a stock in play due to its fundamentals. In September 2015 during the emissions scandal in the US the stock fell more than 63%. If the US will raise tariffs the fall will be enough to drop the price to the light blue trend line and beyond. Also the fact that the German economy is slowing, will add additional pressure to the stock. All signs point to a short entry.
Target 1: 140 Target 2: 135 Target 3: Hold sell position until reason to liquidate
