Nasdaq Soars with Tesla’s AI Boost, European Shares Rise, Asian Markets Battle the Dollar, China and Japan Stand Strong in Uncertain Times.

Introduction:

Asian stock markets maintained a cautious stance on Tuesday, while the dollar paused, its recent advances tempered by the resilience of central banks in China and Japan. Meanwhile, European shares inched higher, aided by a weaker pound lifting the UK’s FTSE 100. In the US, the Nasdaq surged as Tesla gained momentum with optimism surrounding AI and a significant endorsement from Morgan Stanley.
