Tesla, Amazon, WW International, Procter & Gamble, Moderna: Why These 5 Stocks Are Drawing Investors' Attention Today

Major Wall Street indices closed mixed on Tuesday as investors and traders remained cautious ahead of the release of the consumer price inflation data on Wednesday.

What Happened: Markets witnessed some relief after Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee warned the Federal Reserve needs to be careful about hiking rates too aggressively in its efforts to contain price rises, according to a Reuters report.

Meanwhile, following are the five stocks that are drawing investors' attention:

1. Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA): Shares of Tesla closed 1.24% higher on Tuesday. The U.S. Department of Energy has proposed altering a decades-old formula for calculating EVs' fuel efficiency, reported Reuters. The tweak will reduce electric mileage ratings — but could encourage automakers to do away with fossil fuels more quickly, the report said.
