What stands out

Wall Street opened higher after a surprisingly weak June jobs print, nonfarm payrolls rose just 57,000, which tamped down near-term inflation fears, and a Tesla delivery beat that sent the stock sharply higher after the company reported a 25% surge in global vehicle deliveries to more than 480,000 units. Bloomberg also highlighted unprecedented preliminary talks about OpenAI possibly granting the U.S. government an equity stake, a rare convergence of policy and private markets. For investors, the episode is a reminder that headline operational beats and macro relief can spark rallies, even when underlying profitability is under stress.
