Ford Motor Co. stock (ISIN US3453708600) traded at USD 13.45 on September 9, 2026, after Reuters said the automaker was caught in an escalating Washington clash over its China ties. The stock closed at USD 13.45, was down 3.93 percent, and changed hands near a market capitalization of USD 53.77 billion.

China ties stay in view

Reuters reported on September 10, 2026, that the dispute over Ford's links with Chinese companies boiled over this week, with criticism from the Trump administration and praise from the White House in the same news cycle. The report said Ford has argued it needs access to Chinese technology and expertise to stay competitive, while facing political pressure over CATL and Geely ties.

That backdrop matters because the stock was quoted between USD 13.45 and USD 13.93 on September 9, 2026, against a 52-week range of USD 11.11 to USD 17.78. Volume reached 67,231,222 shares, which was 15 percent above the average session volume of 58,316,453 shares.
