Investors continued to look to D.C. as the White House and congressional negotiators close in on a compromise agreement to raise the debt ceiling for two years. The anchors also discussed the surprise partnership between Ford and Tesla. Ford announced it will work with Tesla on charging initiatives, allowing current Ford owners access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada. After the bells, the desk drilled down on retail movers with shares of RH and Ulta getting crushed post-results while shares of Gap rallied.
