Auto Suppliers Higher On Reports Of More Government Aid (LEA, TRW, AXL)
A number of auto part makers are higher today in part on reports from the Wall Street Journal that the companies plan to ask the Obama administration for another $10 billion in aid, as they work through the bankruptcies of General Motors (OTC: GMGMQ) and Chrysler LLC.
Ann Wilson of the Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association said supplier trade groups intend to propose several new aid programs totaling between $8 billion and $10 billion.
Last month, suppliers Visteon and Metaldyne filed for bankruptcy and a number of others are teetering.
Lear (NYSE: LEA) and TRW Automotive (NYSE: TRW) are reaching out to creditors to re-work terms of their debt.
The U.S. Treasury already approved $5 billion for the industry earlier this year.
