What stands out

Tesla shares jumped about 7% ahead of the Cybercab debut in Austin, its best day in months, because investors are betting the two-seat autonomous vehicle could seed a robotaxi business worth far more than current car sales. The rally is a reminder of how much event-driven hope can move a market cap overnight, even as underlying numbers tell a different story. Newsflow about the Federal Reserve and inflation elsewhere keeps this rally vulnerable to broader risk-off moves, so the pop is interesting, not definitive.
