Nasdaq, S&P end higher as Tesla jumps, yields pull back




The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 gained on Thursday, driven by Tesla's positive earnings forecast and a decline in Treasury yields from a three-month high, which buoyed market sentiment despite declines from some corporate results.

Shares of Tesla soared 21.9%, with the EV-maker set to add more than $140 billion to its market capitalization, after it reported robust third-quarter profits and surprised investors with a prediction of 20% to 30% sales growth next year.
