Just when we thought tariff talk had gone quiet, it’s back on center stage. With the reciprocal tariff deadline landing this Wednesday, President Trump has mailed out notices that new duties will kick in on August 1. Countries such as Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Kazakhstan face a 25% levy, while a few others may see steeper rates.  

Wall Street didn’t take the news well. On Monday, the S&P 500 ($SPX) closed lower by 0.79%.  

Before the July 4 long weekend, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ($COMPQ) notched fresh record highs, buoyed by solid jobs data. But like migratory birds, tariffs circled back on Monday and pushed stocks lower almost across the board.  

Monday’s performance can be encapsulated by the StockCharts MarketCarpets screenshot below. It was pretty much red except for a few lonely green squares.

Why Pullbacks Can Be Your Friend

Stock market pullbacks aren’t all bad. They give investors and traders a chance to go bargain hunting. A handy tool is the Market Movers panel in your StockCharts Dashboard. Check the “S&P 500 % Down” category to spot the 10 stocks in the index that had the largest % loss for the trading day. Then view the charts and see if any deserve a place in your ChartLists.

Two names that caught my eye: 

  1. Tesla, Inc. (TSLA)
  2. ON Semiconductor Corp. (ON) 

FIGURE 2. MARKET MOVERS PANEL FROM MONDAY, JULY 7. From this list, two stocks worth considering as “buy the dip” opportunities are TSLA and ON. Image source: StockCharts.com. For educational purposes.

Tesla, Inc. (TSLA): Sitting on the Fence

While it’s clear that politics helped knock TSLA down, the chart tells a fuller story. 

From the daily chart of TSLA below, it’s clear that the stock has seen some erratic movement recently. 

FIGURE 3. DAILY CHART OF TSLA’S STOCK PRICE. TSLA’s stock price has danced above and below its 200-day simple moving average, and momentum is relatively weak. Chart source: StockCharts.com. For educational purposes.

Since April, TSLA’s stock price looked like it was recovering after it broke out above its 200-day simple moving average (SMA). However, in early June it dipped below it and then went above it, and is now back below it. The June 23 high was below the end of May high. The relative strength index (RSI) and percentage price oscillator (PPO) indicate weakening momentum. The big question is where is TSLA going to find support? 

Watch three support levels on your chart. TSLA’s stock price has moved above the first support level. Look for momentum to pick up to confirm the upside move. If TSLA’s stock price doesn’t hold at this level and falls further towards the $270 or $220 levels, similar conditions would apply. However, a significant fall in price would weaken momentum significantly and would need stronger evidence to consider going long. 

ON Semiconductor (ON): Stalling at Resistance

ON has lagged its chip-making peers. Over the past year, ON Semiconductor has underperformed the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH). ON supplies chips to automakers and manufacturers, so its fortunes rise and fall with car demand. 

The daily chart of ON below shows that since early April the stock price has recovered with a series of higher highs and higher lows. It is now facing resistance of its 200-day SMA, a resistance area that coincides with the February high and the early January gap down. Momentum looks like it’s rising as indicated by the slight rise in RSI and a potential bullish crossover in the PPO. 

FIGURE 4. DAILY CHART OF ON SEMICONDUCTOR. Since early April, ON has printed higher highs and higher lows. The stock price is now hovering around its 200-day SMA, and momentum seems to be gaining a little strength. Chart source: StockCharts.com. For educational purposes.

I would look for ON to clear $58 on strong volume and improving momentum before opening a long position.  

Closing Position

  • Add price alerts in StockCharts at each support level (for TSLA) or resistance level (for ON).
  • When an alert triggers, re-evaluate the chart to confirm if momentum is strong enough for a price reversal and upside follow-through. 

A short-term investment could be a better choice for TSLA since its price performance is correlated to Elon Musk’s involvement with the company. 

ON could be a steadier, longer-term investment if the stock price breaks above resistance. 

No matter what, decide in advance where you’ll place your stops. Then stick to your plan because discipline always wins.

Investor Insight

Quimbaya Gold’s strategic focus on Colombia offers a compelling opportunity for gold exploration in a prolific, yet underexplored region supported by a favorable permitting environment. The upside potential is worthy of examination by any savvy investor.

Overview

Quimbaya Gold (CSE:QIM) is a junior gold exploration company focused on its high-grade gold projects in Colombia. The company’s portfolio spans 59,057 hectares across three highly prospective regions in the Antioquia mining district. This region is responsible for approximately 50 percent of Colombia’s total gold production, equivalent to around 1 million ounces (Moz) annually.

Positioned right next to Aris Mining’s (TSX:ARIS) Segovia mine, Quimbaya leverages its proximity to established infrastructure and gold-rich geological formations. With Colombia being one of the most underexplored yet top mining jurisdictions in South America, Quimbaya’s projects are uniquely poised for significant discoveries.

Quimbaya’s projects benefit from Colombia’s favorable permitting environment, enabling faster transitions from discovery to production, compared to its global peers. Quimbaya’s strategy focuses on value creation through new discoveries and monetizing them via strategic transactions, including joint ventures and operational contracts.

Quimbaya has established a significant partnership with Independence Drilling, Colombia’s largest drilling company with over 40 years of experience. The agreement secures 100,000 meters of drilling over five years, with Independence Drilling accepting part of its payment in Quimbaya shares. This innovative structure demonstrates strong confidence in Quimbaya’s projects, ensuring cost-effective and efficient drilling operations.

The company’s management team brings extensive and deep expertise in exploration in Colombia, corporate finance and project development. Quimbaya trades on multiple exchanges: CSE (QIM), OTCQB (QIMGF), and FSE (K05).

Company Highlights

  • Quimbaya Gold controls 59,057 hectares across three distinct projects in Antioquia, Colombia — renowned as the country’s top mining department, accounting for over half of Colombia’s gold production.
  • The flagship Tahami project is adjacent and on trend to Aris Mining’s Segovia mine, one of the highest-grade gold mines globally. Tahami benefits from its strategic proximity to Segovia and its potential for discovery of high-grade vein gold systems.
  • Tight share structure (60 percent insider/family offices/institutions ownership) with a market cap of approximately C$11.45 million, ensuring alignment with shareholder interests.
  • Quimbaya has entered into a partnership with Independence Drilling, Colombia’s largest drilling company, which secures an extremely cost-effective 100,000 meters of drilling over five years.
  • Quimbaya utilizes software that allows for rapid and cost-effective acquisition of mining claims, giving the company a competitive edge in securing high-value assets.
  • The technical team’s proven track record of major discoveries in Colombia positions Quimbaya as a standout explorer in the region.
  • Fully funded into 2026 for multi-project advancement in Colombia after closing $4 million financing

Key Projects

Tahami Project (Flagship)

The Tahami project is located in Segovia, Antioquia, adjacent to Aris Mining’s Segovia mine, one of the highest-grade gold mines in the world. Spanning 17,087 hectares, Tahami’s geology features mesothermal veins with multiple mineralization events underlain by Precambrian metamorphic rocks consolidated within the San Lucas Gneiss unit.

Several vein systems from Aris Mining’s Segovia project, including the Sandra K and El Silencio veins, extend towards Quimbaya’s tenements. Both the Sandra K and El Silencio veins align with structural orientations of known high-grade deposits. The project also boasts more than 25 historical artisanal mines, underscoring its prospectively.

Quimbaya’s exploration plan for Tahami involves leveraging advanced geochemical and geophysical surveys to generate drill targets. These efforts will be complemented by modern 3D geological modelling and an initial drilling campaign to test high-grade zones. The integration of historical data and cutting-edge technology positions Tahami as a prime asset for discovery. The initial drilling campaign is anticipated to commence by late Q2 of 2025 and will prioritize the high-grade targets identified in preliminary exploration work.

Maitamac Project

Located in Abejorral, Antioquia, 80 kilometers south of Medellín, the Maitamac project spans 33,223 hectares and offers excellent road access. This emerging gold metallogenic district features mesothermal veins and potential porphyry gold-copper systems.

Initial surface rock samples have reported gold grades of up to 3.2 g/t, with stream sediments revealing over 1 g/t gold. Identified as a promising district by the Colombian Geological Services, Maitamac is positioned alongside the past producing ABE project and structural corridor which has produced mined shoots averaging 26 g/t gold.

Waymo announced Tuesday that it is offering accounts for teens ages 14 to 17, starting in Phoenix.

The Alphabet-owned company said that, beginning Tuesday, parents in Phoenix can use their Waymo accounts “to invite their teen into the program, pairing them together.” Once their account is activated, teens can hail fully autonomous rides.

Previously, users were required to be at least 18 years old to sign up for a Waymo account, but the age range expansion comes as the company seeks to increase ridership amid a broader expansion of its ride-hailing service across U.S. cities. Alphabet has also been under pressure to monetize AI products amid increased competition and economic headwinds.

Waymo said it will offer “specially-trained Rider Support agents” during rides hailed by teens and loop in parents if needed. Teens can also share their trip status with their parents for real-time updates on their progress, and parents receive all ride receipts.

Teen accounts are initially only being offered to riders in the metro Phoenix area. Teen accounts will expand to more markets outside California where the Waymo app is available in the future, a spokesperson said.

Waymo’s expansion to teens follows a similar move by Uber, which launched teen accounts in 2023. Waymo, which has partnerships with Uber in multiple markets, said it “may consider enabling access for teens through our network partners in the future.”

Already, Waymo provides more than 250,000 paid trips each week across Phoenix, the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Austin, Texas, and the company is preparing to bring autonomous rides to Miami and Washington, D.C., in 2026.

In June, Waymo announced that it plans to manually drive vehicles in New York, marking the first step toward potentially cracking the largest U.S. city. Waymo said it applied for a permit with the New York City Department of Transportation to operate autonomously with a trained specialist behind the wheel in Manhattan.

Boeing delivered 60 airplanes last month, the most since December 2023, as the plane maker seeks to raise production of its bestselling 737 Max jets after a series of manufacturing and safety problems.

The tally was the highest since before a door plug from one of its new 737 Max 9 planes blew out midair in January 2024, sparking a new crisis for the company and slowing production and deliveries of aircraft. Of the monthly total, 42 were 737 Maxes, going to customers including Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines and United Airlines.

CEO Kelly Ortberg, who took the top job at Boeing last August, has said the company has made progress in improving production rates and quality on its factory lines.

For the three months ended June 30, Boeing handed over 150 airplanes, its best second quarter since 2018, before two crashes of Max planes five months apart grounded the jets and sparked a multiyear crisis at the top U.S. exporter. That was also the last year Boeing posted an annual profit. Its problems also gave rival Airbus a bigger lead over Boeing.

Boeing this spring had been producing about 38 Max aircraft a month and will need Federal Aviation Administration approval to go above that limit, which the agency set after the door plug accident. Ortberg said at a Bernstein investor conference in late May that he’s confident that the company could increase production to 42 of the jets a month.

The company booked 116 gross orders in June, or 70 net orders when including cancellations and accounting adjustments. Boeing often removes or adds orders to its backlog for a variety of reasons including customers’ financial health.

Boeing’s backlog stood at 5,953 as of June 30.

The manufacturer is set to report second-quarter financial results on July 29, when investors will be focused on Ortberg’s plan to increase production and aircraft deliveries.
