$Tesla (TSLA.US)$, QuantumScape and Lam Research are among the stock options attracting the heaviest trading volume so far after the three companies reported earnings that beat analysts' estimates.
The stellar among them was Tesla after the electric vehicle maker's earnings blew past estimates by almost 21%. The $38 gain in the stock price Thursday revived the value of many call options that just yesterday traded well...

What happens later? The September jobs report, expected later today, will provide a clearer view of the U.S. labor market and is likely to be a key driver for markets, even amid geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices.
Unemployment down-> More Jobs-> reflecting economic resilience rather than high inflation. With the unemployment rate slowly increasing, solid job growth would suggest the economy is avoiding a recession. $CBOE Volatility S&P 500 Index (.VIX.US)$ $ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY.US)$ may shoot...
