Why is Tesla stock climbing today?

Tesla stock remains volatile around the $355 to $368 range as the market anticipates the September 3 Cybercab launch. While the company recently achieved record deliveries, profit margins have decreased. CEO Elon Musk recently estimated that artificial intelligence could increase the global economy by 20% to 30%, potentially adding $20 to $30 trillion annually. These optimistic AI projections and the upcoming event contrast with a broader market environment where corporate debt for AI is contributing to a global sovereign bond selloff.
