Trading on little in the way of company news, 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:the stock last week both rose 🍌40% above ♚the previous week’s close and fell more than 20% below it. Trading in the shares was hit with halts several times along the way, and the company’s multibillion-dollar market cap vacillated. 

The stock continued its back-and-for꧅th trading Monday, finishing the day ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚup some 12% to over $34.

Recent polling seen by some analysts as beneficial to Trump’s principal opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, may have shifted some traders’ bets earlier in the session—a dynamic also seen on 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:prediction markets that, while generally indicating a belief in a Trump victory, have also moved somewhat toward Harris in recent days. 

Bitcoin (BTC), which has outperforme🌳d the S&P 500 in recent months, has lately pulled back from recent highs; investors generally see Trump as more crypto-friendly, though his Harris has also signaled support for the industry. 

Bitcoin was trading below $68,000 recen🧔tly, more than $5,000 below its highs from last week.

Some single stocks have also become particularly linked with the outcome of the election. Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is an outspoken Trump supporter, and Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, who has an “outperform” rating on the EV maker’s shares, suggested a range of election scenarios that could affect the stock. These include tꩲhe possibility of a trade war with China that could weigh on Tesla sales in that market but also a more welcoming environment for the company’s autonomy initiatives, Ives said in a note Sunday.
