Quick Glance: Overview: Tesla Stocks Plummet, Europe Business Surpasses Expectations
- World markets have brightened slightly this week, but Tesla is facing a critical earnings test, while Europe's business pulse has surprisingly been lively this month.

- While Big Tech jitters define this month's market fluctuations, investors will closely watch the upcoming results for a clearer perspective.
