Tesla, Amazon, Polestar, Nordstrom, Autodesk: Why These 5 Stocks Are Drawing Investors' Attention Today

Major Wall Street indices closed over 1% higher on Tuesday after investor focus shifted toward upbeat earnings reports and the possibility of the U.S. Federal Reserve going easy on rate hikes in the future.

Cleveland Federal Reserve President Loretta Mester said on Monday that she thinks the central bank can slow down from the 75 basis points hike at its next meeting and that it’s very appropriate, reported Reuters. Meanwhile, here are the five stocks that are drawing investors’ interest today:

1. Tesla Inc TSLA: Tesla is altering its marketing approach in China in the wake of tough competition from domestic rivals and uneven demand. The company extended insurance subsidies of as much as 8,000 yuan ($1,100) for new buyers, reported Bloomberg, citing a post on the company’s Weibo account. Tesla also reinstated a user referral program and advertised on a local TV shopping channel, the report said. Tesla shares closed 1.22% higher on Tuesday.
