Why Ford And GM Shares Are Falling Today

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) and General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) shares are trading lower. The move appears related to overall market weakness as a rise in yields and worse-than-expected earnings from Goldman Sachs weigh on stocks.

Shares of companies across sectors are trading lower after the 10-year US Treasury yield reached a two-year high, which has pressured valuations. The 10-year Treasury yield hit an intraday high of 1.85% Tuesday morning before dipping to around the 1.83% level. When interest rates rise, the value of future cash flows is reduced for growth stocks, which in turn lower the value of the stock.

General Motors' stock was trading about 3.4% lower at $59.05 per share at the time of publication.
