As Wall Street kicks off the new year, U.S. stocks have shown a mix of gains and declines. Major indices such as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 opened higher, aiming for a comeback after a weak end to the previous year. However, Tesla faced a significant downturn, with shares falling around 7% following disappointing delivery numbers. Stocks saw slight increases despite the drag from technology giants like Tesla, while the dollar reached a two-year high. Overall, the first trading session of 2025 has brought considerable volatility as investors remain cautiously optimistic about economic recovery.
