Look ahead: Global PMIs, UK public sector net borrowing; Tesla; Novartis; GM
Wall Street is looking to pull itself back from a week where Middle East geopolitical risk caused the VIX index to spike. Tuesday is packed with earnings from Novartis, Associated British Foods, and General Motors.
Tesla’s earnings come a day after the EV maker said it would cut prices on some of its vehicles around the globe amid fierce competition, especially from its Chinese rivals.
