U.S. stocks record their worst first half in more than 50 years

U.S. stocks are continuing to tumble, recording their worst first half in more than 50 years

This has all been triggered by the Federal Reserve’s attempt to halt soaring inflation and fears over global growth.

The S&P slid by a further 0.9 per cent on Thursday, taking it down by 20.6 per cent in the first six months of this year.

The last time Wall Street equities saw such a disastrous start to the year was back in 19-70 in response to the recession.

The pullback from U.S. stocks has wiped more than $9 trillion in market value since the end of 2021.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq is also in free fall, sliding 1.3 per cent on Thursday to an almost 30 per cent loss over the last six months.

The lawsuit, which was filed by a group of Tesla policyholders, alleges that the premiums charged by Tesla’s insurance unit were significantly higher than market rates for similar coverage.

The plaintiffs argue that Tesla’s insurance division engaged in unfair pricing practices, leading to overpayment by policyholders.

Tesla has not yet commented on the judge’s decision, but the lawsuit raises questions about the transparency and fairness of the company’s insurance pricing.

It also highlights the growing scrutiny on how tech companies enter and compete in traditional industries like insurance.
