After the increase in value commenced about two weeks ago, the upward momentum of GM share values was impeded by the ongoing trade war between the United States and China, though it has since stabilized. We believe the uptick in GM stock value could be in response to any one of the following events:

  • The launch of the new Cadillac XT6 in both the U.S. and China, which is expected to deliver high margins at healthy sales volumes
  • Macroeconomic factors that show favorable economic circumstances in vital markets for GM, such as the U.S. and China
