Nio was not the only Chinese company to be hit hard on Tuesday, as increasing political tensions between the U.S. have raised fears of stricter regulatory controls. Alongside Nio, stocks like Xpeng (NYSE:XPEV), Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI), PinDuoDuo (NASDAQ:PDD), and Tencent (TCEHY) were all down sharply during the session. The Shanghai Stock Exchange in China reported its third weekly drop last week as tensions with the West continue to intensify, especially after the House of Representatives voted in favor to delist Chinese stocks from American exchanges. 

NIO stock forecast

German automaker Volkswagen has called its initial foray into the Chinese electric vehicle market sluggish, with underwhelming demand for its vehicles from the Chinese market. Volkswagen’s ID4 electric SUV models sold only 1,213 vehicles in May, which was actually 200 fewer than the month before. The monthly figures are off Volkswagen’s anticipated sales pace of 50,000-60,000 vehicles this year, with further growth in the future. While the news could be interpreted as positive for domestic automakers like Nio, investors are clearly taking this as a waning interest in EVs by the Chinese market as a whole.
