#43/2025 - Tesla, Netflix, CPI – The 3 Things That Could Move Markets This Week

Trading Tips With Jim Stromberg

Tesla earnings, inflation data, and stock market volatility — here’s your essential trader’s preview for the week!

We’ve got some heavyweight Q3 2025 earnings reports lined up that could shift market sentiment in a big way.
Tesla (TSLA) is set to report earnings on October 22, after market close. If Tesla surprises to the upside — through delivery numbers, margins, or new commentary around AI and robotics — the stock could pop. But caution: the bar is high, and any weakness will be punished.

Other key names to watch:
📈 Netflix (NFLX), Intel (INTC), Coca-Cola (KO), and more. These stocks could drive sector-wide movement and sentiment this week.

On the macro side:
📊 Core inflation (CPI), jobless claims, and 3-month/6-month Treasury bill auctions will heavily influence Fed rate cut expectations and overall market risk appetite.

📉 Looking at the NASDAQ Composite (^IXIC): the index just touched the top of its trend channel and is now pulling back. Watch for key support tests. A short-term consolidation or mild downside seems likely — unless macro or earnings data surprises.
