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.

Following the worst week on Wall Street since 2022, relief from easing Middle East tensions helped stabilize the situation on Monday. The chip giant Nvidia made a modest recovery from losses as Big Tech megacaps gear up for quarterly earnings releases.

As the first of the 'Magnificent 7' Vanguard stocks, electric vehicle giant Tesla will report on Tuesday, having plummeted by a substantial 43% year-to-date and nearly 60% over the past two years amidst fierce price competition, declining EV demand, and governance/product concerns.

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

Quick Glance: Taro Aso Meets Trump in New York Prior to Election

Ahead of the November elections, former Prime Minister Taro Aso met with Donald Trump in New York as some countries were establishing connections with the ex-US president.

Serving as the Vice President of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party, Aso had a strong alliance with the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who shared a close bond with Trump.

During the meeting, Trump also commended Japan's increased defense expenditures.

The meeting on Tuesday occurred following Trump's involvement in a hearing related to alleged hush money payments to a porn star before the 2016 presidential election.

Quick Glance: South Korea Objects to Japanese Leaders' Yasukuni Shrine Offerings

South Korea expressed deep disappointment on Sunday over Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's offerings at the Yasukuni Shrine and urged Japanese leaders to show repentance for the country's wartime past.

The shrine is viewed by Beijing and Seoul as a representation of Japan's historical military aggression due to its inclusion of 14 Japanese wartime leaders among the 2.5 million war dead honored there.

The South Korean government calls on Japanese leaders to confront history and demonstrate sincere repentance, which would be a crucial step towards enhancing relations between the two countries.

Despite progress in the South Korea-Japan relationship, particularly in security cooperation, the offerings made by Kishida and some cabinet members at the Yasukuni Shrine have sparked protests from South Korea.
