You can see that the U.S. car market has slumped by just reading about the loss of the big automakers in March, but that’s not all. The rental car sector does also show weakening, as bonds from some of the largest companies in the market slid off the back of declining used car prices and falling sales. The premiums investors demand to hold bonds issued by Hertz and Avis Budget Group have surged amid the market souring on the industry, jolted further on Monday after the pace of auto sales fell 10 per cent since December. Bonds issued by the two companies were the three biggest ...
The second quarter for the 2017th year started not so bad, after car makers showed disappointing sales results for the first one. That could’ve been a warning for other types of spending, but a late recovery helped stocks avoid bigger losses. Stocks tumbled in morning trading after automakers including Ford and General Motors said passenger car sales slumped last month. Auto parts and rental car companies also tumbled. Spending by shoppers is a critical part of economic growth and investors found themselves wondering if spending will keep growing as it has in recent years...

Meanwhile, third-party stalwarts are considering a future where they could go beyond their current roles as inventory hubs and gateways to dealership sites. This evolution would allow consumers to browse listings, settle on vehicles and then close deals using buying...
Since Donald Trump has become the new U.S. president he has been vowing to turn American trade policy toward a more protectionist stance. That includes imposing a 35 percent tariff on imported cars, could have far-reaching consequences for European automakers. European auto executives who gathered here last week for the annual Geneva auto show have found themselves having to deal unexpectedly with trade issues in markets, including Britain and the United States, that just a year ago seemed steady. Many European automakers produce and even export cars from the United States and Mexic...
