Ford Stock Is Falling: What's Happening Today?

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) shares are trading lower as record diesel prices and the highest Treasury yields since 2007 squeeze demand for the trucks and SUVs. Ford Motor stock is showing notable weakness. Why is F stock dropping? Record Diesel Prices and Rising Yields Squeeze Automakers Diesel costs climbed to an all-time high above $6.30 a gallon Friday, a spike traced back to a drone strike that knocked out pumping infrastructure along Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline. Borrowing costs are rising in tandem, with the 10-year Treasury note climbing to 5.04% this week, a level not seen in roughly two decades, following the Fed’s first rate increase since 2023. Together, pricier fuel and more expensive credit hit directly at demand for the pickups and SUVs that make up the bulk of Detroit’s earnings. Ford’s Chart Shows a Stock Under Pressure Across the Board Ford shares are sitting beneath every major trend line that matters right now, trailing the 20-day average by 5.6% and the 200-day mark, currently near $13.53, by roughly 3.1%. Momentum readings aren’t helping the case either, with MACD sitting under its own signal line and a negative histogram, a combination that typically points to buyers losing steam rather than gaining it. A golden cross that emerged back in June, when the 50-day average climbed above the 200-day, still offers some longer-term encouragement, but this stretch of weakness makes clear that a bullish crossover alone doesn’t guarantee the stock stays above the averages that matter most. Looking at the levels traders are tracking, $14.50 stands out as a resistance point worth watching, a round figure sitting just above where the 50-day average currently lines up, an area where past rallies have lost momentum. On the downside, $11.50 marks a support zone that has attracted buyers before, sitting only slightly above the stock’s 52-week low of $11.11.
