Tesla and AT&T helped drag Wall Street lower on Thursday. Tesla weighed heavily on the market for a second straight day on worries about how much profit it’s making on each of its electric vehicles. It dropped 9.7% after reporting revenue for the first three months of the year that fell short of analysts’ expectations as it repeatedly cut prices on its models.

Stocks drifted higher Monday as earnings season kicked into gear. Several financial companies reported a mixed set of profit reports for the first three months of the year.

Stocks rallied Friday to cap a winning month and quarter for Wall Street. Friday’s gains came after a report showed inflation across the United States slowed in February, though it was still high relative to history. A continued slowdown could give the Federal Reserve more leeway to take it easier on interest rates after jacking them higher at a furious pace over the last year.

Stocks headed toward a winning March as Wall Street’s fear fell Thursday. Forceful actions by regulators worldwide have helped build confidence that the current trouble for banks won’t torpedo the economy like the 2008 financial crisis did.

Such cuts could offer relief after a year of relentless hikes to rates, and they also tend to act like steroids for markets.

Stocks ticked higher Thursday after another dizzying day on Wall Street. Two big questions have been causing big swings for Wall Street this month, and investors still don’t have a final answer for either. On one, investors are worried about whether more banks will suffer a debilitating exodus of customers following the second- and third-largest U.S. bank failures in history. On the other, all the turmoil is clouding the outlook for what the Federal Reserve will do with interest rates after hiking them to market-rattling heights over the last year.

Wall Street climbed Tuesday as some beaten-down bank stocks recovered. The S&P 500 rose 1.7% after a report showed inflation is still high but heading lower.

Wall Street held steady Monday ahead of a potentially big week.

At the center of it all has been high inflation and expectations for what the Federal Reserve will do about it.

Stocks jumped Friday as Wall Street cruised to its best day since January.

It’s found some stability following a swift rise and fall to start the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.2%, while the Nasdaq composite jumped 2%.

Stocks climbed Thursday to send Wall Street to its first gain in three days.
