Tesla charging stations in Massachusetts were set ablaze amid growing backlash against Elon Musk, linked to his political ties and actions. Seven stations were damaged in what police deemed an intentional fire, coinciding with a significant drop in Tesla's sales in Europe and a 37% decline in stock value since Trump's inauguration. Demonstrations have escalated, with vandalism reported and political tensions rising as Musk's activism increasingly impacts consumer sentiment.
London's FTSE 100 rose 0.2% to 8,782.89, with HSBC gaining ahead of its annual results.

InterContinental Hotels also saw a decline despite reporting increased profits and a share buyback announcement.

TJX Companies reported a strong start to the holiday shopping season, with fiscal third-quarter earnings per share of $1.14, surpassing expectations. However, its holiday quarter guidance of $1.12 to $1.14 fell short of Wall Street"s $1.18 forecast, leading to a decline in shares.

UBS is reportedly linked to Chinese military companies under U.S. sanctions, investing around $1 billion in fighter jet manufacturer Avic Xi"an and surveillance supplier Hikvision through joint ventures. Despite selling shares after the sanctions were imposed, UBS"s joint ventures have made significant purchases, raising concerns about potential U.S. retaliation. The bank maintains that its investments comply with U.S. laws, asserting that trading of these securities is permissible outside the U.S. as long as U.S. persons are not involved.
Walmart"s CFO, John David Rainey, indicated that the retailer may need to raise prices on some items if proposed tariffs by President-elect Trump are implemented, despite the company"s commitment to everyday low prices.

Other retailers, like Lowe"s, are also preparing for increased costs due to these tariffs, which could impact their supply chains significantly.
