Tesla between U.S. market hype and Europe bleeding market

This year, Tesla finds itself at a turning point. On one hand, its ambitions, beyond cars, AI chips, autonomous driving, robotaxis, are gaining traction and investor attention. On the other hand, traditional metrics like vehicle deliveries and European sales are under pressure. The result: a company straddling two futures.

Nasdaq falls despite Nvidia beating Q3 estimates

The Nasdaq-100 declined sharply despite Nvidia’s robust third-quarter results, as investor concern about stretched valuations in the technology sector outweighed the company’s revenue and EPS beats. Mixed US employment revisions added to uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s policy path, shifting focus to forthcoming inflation prints in December.

EU inflation slows, bolstering ECB stance to hold rates

Headline consumer-price inflation in the European Union eased to 2.1 per cent year-on-year from 2.2 per cent, while core inflation remained unchanged at 2.4 per cent.

The Japanese yen has continued to depreciate as markets price an increasingly expansionary fiscal and economic policy under the new administration of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

The US Dollar Index eased during today’s session after a series of relatively hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials lowered market confidence in an imminent December rate cut.

DAX nears record highs despite weak German economy

The DAX has been one of the strongest global indices in 2025, rising roughly 23 per cent year-to-date even as Germany’s macroeconomic backdrop remains subdued. Q3 GDP was flat on the quarter and close to stagnation year-on-year, while headline inflation has moderated only marginally.
