Analysts at RBC Capital Mkts lowered TSLA target share price to $ 210 from $ 220. The company notes that Tesla Motors produced 18,345 vehicles in the second quarter (+ 20% compared to the first quarter), and by the end of the quarter reached the production level of less than 2 000 vehicles per week. Based on what they saw during their recent visit to the plant of the company, analysts believe that the company still has problems with the production of Model X.
Tesla Motors plans to increase production to 2200 units / week in the third quarter and 2,400 units / week in the fourth quarter. This implies the production of about 50 thousand vehicles in the second half. Thus, if the company will be able to carry out the delivery of these vehicles, its sales will be able to reach the level of 80-90K cars by the end of 2016, which is the lower limit of the forecast range. The RBC Capital Mkts believe that the company will supply 75 thousand cars in 2016 (previous forecast ~ 79K.).

Market participants have focused attention on the employment data in the US, after finding evidence of improvement in the US labor market after the publication of upbeat data on Thursday.

The merchandise trade deficit increased to 9.9 billion pounds from 9.4 billion pounds in April. The expected deficit was 10.7 billion pounds.

The deficit with EU countries increased to 7.3 billion euros from 6.9 billion pounds, while trade with non EU member states rose to 2.6 billion pounds from 2.5 billion pounds.
Meanwhile, the services surplus increased to 7.6 billion pounds from 7.5 billion pounds.

Meanwhile, the pound rallies might be sold hard, as Brexit reinforces the uncertainty regarding the country's economic prospects.
Intraday USD / JPY is approaching a break below the 100 level, and at the same time increases the probability of easing of monetary policy by the Bank of Japan at the meeting scheduled for the end of July. If the central bank will increase the asset purchase program or lower the rate even further deep into negative territory, it can shake the Japanese stock market.
"It is clear that the strengthening of the yen is negative for exporters, so if you can weaken the currency, their share will grow", - says Sunil Garg from J.P. Morgan.
However, lower interest rates may have a negative impact on the shares of financial companies, banks and insurance agencies. "Perhaps the weaker yen would help exporters, but the shares of companies whose rates depend on economic cycles, as well as financial institutions remain under pressure" - says Garg.

May non-farm employment data disappointed market participants. Employment grew only by 38 000 people, while the figures for the previous two months were revised downward. Employment in the telecommunications industry fell by 37,200 people, partly due to the Verizon strike. But the figures were weak even without the one-time impact of Verizon strike. The data showed that employment in the sector of production of goods decreased in the past month, while the private sector recorded the smallest increase in nearly four years. The unemployment rate fell to a cyclical low and amounted to 4.7 percent, caused by a sharp decline in labor force participation. In light of the unexpectedly weak report for May, the June data will be very important to assess the situation on the labor market.
According to the average forecast in June, employment increased by 180K.
European stock markets mostly rose in the course of today's session, as the strengthening of the shares of the mining sector due to growth in metal prices supported the market, but some of the major stock indexes may show the worst week for about five months.

The merchandise trade deficit increased to 9.9 billion pounds from 9.4 billion pounds in April. The expected deficit was 10.7 billion pounds.
This extension reflects a greater reduction in exports by 2.1 billion pounds, than the fall of 1.6 billion pounds of imports.
The deficit with EU countries increased to 7.3 billion euros from 6.9 billion pounds, while with non-member states in the EU rose to 2.6 billion pounds from 2.5 billion pounds.
Meanwhile, the services surplus increased to 7.6 billion pounds from 7.5 billion pounds.
As a result, the overall trade deficit, including goods and services, increased to 2.3 billion pounds from 2 billion pounds. Exports fell by 2.0 billion pounds, while imports decreased by 1.7 billion pounds.

The first half of trading on the Warsaw market was marked by expectations of what will happen in the afternoon after the release of data from the US. Low liquidity, with which we are dealing today in Warsaw favors the unexpected movement, especially when everyone expects no changes. After two attempts to raise the index, the supply side tried its power which ended up with a downward move to the cosmetic cons. While our market is going down session lows, in Frankfurt investors showed a bit more optimism, which results in the increase of the DAX up to 1.1 percent. Unfortunately, the previously observed strength of the Warsaw Stock Exchange today is no longer present, and despite the very comfortable conditions for the development of yesterday's gains we do not see it.

Barclays: For the June US employment report, we expect nonfarm payrolls to rise by 175k, private payrolls to increase by 170k, and government payrolls to rise by 5k. A number in line with our expectation would represent a modest rebound in hiring relative to the May employment report after adjusting for the effects of the Verizon strike. Telecommunications employment fell 37k in May, about in line with the estimate of the strike-related effects as estimated by the BLS, and we look for this employment to return in June given the conclusion of the strike prior to the survey week. Elsewhere in the report, we expect the unemployment rate to remain unchanged at 4.7%. Finally, we expect average hourly earnings to rise 0.2% m/m (2.7% y/y) and average weekly hours to hold steady at 34.4.

TD: We expect the sharp downdraft in employment to partially reverse in June, with a forecasted increase of 175k jobs. This print will be supported by the return of 34k Verizon workers who were on strike in May. In addition to the rebound in the telecom sector, a bounce back in the wholesale, manufacturing and construction sectors should also bolster the headline print. The unemployment rate is forecast to increase to 4.8% from the cycle-low of 4.7% on account of an expected rebound in the labor force (following the outsized 820K decline over the prior two months), which should more than offset the gains in household employment. On the wage growth front, average hourly earnings are expected to rise modestly, posting a 0.2% m/m gain, resulting in the pace of wage growth accelerating from 2.5% to 2.7% y/y due in large part to favorable base effects.

Goldman: We forecast that nonfarm payroll growth rebounded to +210k in June from just +38k in May. In part the pickup reflects the conclusion of a strike at Verizon Communications-this alone accounts for 70k of the month-over-month swing. However, we also see scope for improvement beyond Verizon, as other labor market data have generally looked encouraging. We expect a small increase in the unemployment rate to 4.8% after its three month decline in May. Data from the household survey have been volatile in recent months, but the broad trends-participation stabilizing and job growth remaining strong enough to reduce slack over time-still look intact. We see a low month-over-month gain in average hourly earnings due to calendar quirks, but the year-over-year rate should edge higher.

Unit Stake of oil in 2020 will reach $ 75 a barrel if OPEC cut production by 7 million barrels per day and reduce the market share from the current 42% to 35%. Such a scenario for OPEC suggested by the International Monetary Fund. After analyzing 2014, the IMF concluded that the struggle for the preservation of the share and the "squeezing" of the market shale oil producers will not lead to a balance in the market.

Yesterday's a bit bearish ending of the US session was slightly disappointing. Downward move was not large, approx. of 0.1%, and resulted from the sell-off in the oil market by more than 5%. However Asia in the morning is dominated by the red color and the contracts in the US also go down about 0.10%. This means that a weak Europe may have trouble to generate growth, which hinders the activity of demand on the WSE. Nevertheless, follow the principle, before the hour 14:30 (Warsaw time) markets should be relatively calm.

In a one-off special GfK Consumer Confidence Barometer (CCB) to measure post-referendum sentiment, the core Index has fallen 8 points to -9. All of the key measures used to calculate the Index have fallen. This long-running survey dates back to 1974, and there has not been a sharper drop than this for 21 years (December 1994).
Splitting the core Index result by how people said they voted in the referendum, Remainers were at -13, versus Leavers who were more optimistic at -5. The survey was run from 30 June to 5 July to capture the mood of consumers immediately after the Brexit decision on 24 June.
Joe Staton, Head of Market Dynamics at GfK, says: "In these extraordinary times this one-off CCB Brexit Special gauges the temperature of consumer confidence right now. During this period of uncertainty, we've seen a very significant drop in confidence, as is clear from the fact that every one of our key measures has fallen, with the biggest decrease occurring in the outlook for the general economic situation in the next 12 months."
The results reveal consumer concerns about the economic outlook. Six in 10 (60 percent) expect the general economic situation to worsen in the next 12 months, up from 46 percent in June. Only 20 percent of consumers expect it to improve, down from 27 percent in June. The proportion of people who believe prices will increase rapidly in the next 12 months has jumped 20 percentage points from 13 percent to 33 percent.Regional, age and income analysis from the Brexit special.
"In our view, Friday's US payrolls report will be watched even more keenly than usual as investors look for confirmation that the weak print last month was an outlier and not the start of a new, weaker trend.
Market expectations are for a significant bounce to 180k, matching our economists' estimates, but looking at historical data, we find some evidence of a tendency for consensus to over-estimate the size of the rebound following particularly disappointing payroll reports.
With Brexit spillovers keeping markets nervous, we believe the risks around Non-farm Payrolls (NFP) are asymmetric, especially following the broad risk rally we have seen up until Tuesday this week, with a miss in payrolls likely to see risk sentiment sharply affected. While a strong NFP report would moderate some negativity, we believe it would take a particularly strong print to meaningfully (and sustainably) move near-term Fed expectations forward, given post-Brexit global uncertainty.
Positioning for delight… or disappointment in FX - sell CAD
Positioning suggests disappointment from a weak NFP would be negative for CAD/JPY and NZD/JPY, while a strong number could support USD/CAD and USD/CHF.
On balance, being short CAD going into the NFP has the best risk-reward potential, in our view".
