Tesla's Earnings Surge Lifts Nasdaq Amid Mixed Market Performance
Wall Street sees mixed results as Tesla's strong earnings contrast with Boeing's ongoing labor strike and IBM's revenue shortfall.
- Tesla's stock jumped over 18% following better-than-expected quarterly earnings and a strong sales forecast from CEO Elon Musk.
- The Dow Jones Industrial Average extended its losses, dragged down by Boeing and IBM, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 saw modest gains.
- Boeing continues to face challenges with a machinist strike that has halted production, following a rejected labor contract offering a 35% wage increase.
- Despite Tesla's boost, broader market concerns persist, including high Treasury yields and investor caution ahead of the U.S. presidential election.
- Corporate earnings reports present a mixed picture, with companies like UPS exceeding profit expectations, while IBM and Honeywell fall short of revenue forecasts.
