According to Motor Intelligence data, Tesla has regained more than half of the US electric vehicle market, reaching 52% in the first eight months of 2026, up from 43% in the same period last year. However, Tesla has not escaped the overall market downturn. So far this year, its US sales are 325,351 vehicles, a 16% decrease year-over-year. But the overall electric vehicle market has shrunk even more, declining by 30%. Tesla once accounted for more than 80% of US electric vehicle sales, but in recent years, its share has continued to decline as established automakers such as Hyundai, Ford, and GM have launched electric models. In 2025, Teslas share fell to a record low of 41%, when Musks political involvement and cooperation with the Trump administration to cut federal government spending alienated some buyers and led to protests outside stores.

The EU is open to the idea, while US officials have expressed skepticism. Canada and the United States are embroiled in the worst bilateral trade war in modern history. The Trump administrations threat to make Canada the USs "51st state" has prompted Carney to accelerate Canadas "pivot to Europe." Carney has privately communicated with key European leaders, including those from France, Italy, Germany, and the Nordic countries, to explore ways to allow Canada to integrate more deeply into the EU. According to sources, Carney has instructed his special envoy to Europe to explore the most ambitious possibilities without making Canada a full member of the EU or its common market. Technical working groups are still outlining the details, and Carney has told aides that this would be a repositioning of an economy and society that has been dominated by the United States for half a century.

WTI struggles at $87 as recession worries probe OPEC's forecast and supply deficit fears intensify

After reverting from the weekly high, WTI crude oil traders seek clear direction around $87.50 during Wednesday's Asian session. However, the present hesitation in the price of black gold may be attributable to the mixed concerns regarding the demand-supply matrix.

 

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) indicated in a monthly report that oil consumption will climb by 3,1 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2022 and by 2,7 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2023, which is unchanged from last month. Despite obstacles such as rising prices, the news also highlighted indications that major economies were performing better than projected.

 

The news that the United States intends to replenish its emergency oil reserves, as well as the German and European move to control Russian oil and gas prices, could also be favorable for energy prices. In addition, rumors that the Western oil deal with Iran is a long way off are bolstering fears of a supply bottleneck and should have helped energy bulls.

 

Tuesday's US inflation statistics revived concerns about the Federal Reserve's fast rate hike and exacerbated recession concerns. Also acting as downward drivers for WTI crude oil are expectations of economic slowdown due to China and Russia-related concerns.

 

In spite of this, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August increased by 8.3% year-over-year, surpassing market expectations by 0.1%. However, the monthly data increased to 0.1%, exceeding the -0.1% projected and the 0.0% shown in previous assessments. The core CPI, or CPI excluding food and energy, likewise exceeded the 6.1% consensus and 5.9% prior to printing at 6.3% for the month in question.

 

It should be mentioned that the weekly prints of the American Petroleum Institute's (API) industry inventory report also contributed to the commodity's downfall. The API Weekly Crude Oil Stock climbed to 6,035 million during the week ending September 9, up from 3,645,000 the previous week.

 

In the future, the price of black gold may stay under pressure due to a stronger US dollar and economic troubles. Before today's official weekly inventory data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, however, the supply crisis concerns could test the bears (EIA). Thursday's US Retail Sales for the month of August and Friday's preliminary reading of the September Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index will also warrant close attention.
