Afternoon Note

By Karina Hernandez, Senior Research Analyst

Robust reports from Meta Platforms (META) and Amazon (AMZN0 are driving gains in the Nasdaq and S&P 500 this afternoon. META is rocketing to record highs and on track to be the single biggest one-day increase in market value of any U.S. public company, as investors cheer its latest earnings report.

Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary and Technology are the strongest sectors. The safe havens are lagging with the Utility sector losing over 2%.

Not participating in the rally is Tesla (TSLA), which is down again on news that is recalling over $2m vehicles in the US due to issues with the lights.

The Tesla "recall" requires a software patch that will be delivered transparently, per Tesla"s X account.

Anyone think the negative coverage has anything to do with Musk bucking the globalist efforts to ignore the 1st amendment?
