Another year-over-year decline in the automotive industry. This April wasn’t that successful as automakers and dealerships wanted them to be, and this is why we have such low car sales predictions. Declines will be broad-based, with General Motors, Ford, Fiat Chrysler and all other major automakers expected to report lower sales. Meanwhile, Tesla shares soared to a record high Monday ahead of the electric vehicle maker's earnings Wednesday.
