Tesla stock rises after CPI print; Wolfe lays out robotaxi milestones investors want next

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 09:33 EST — Regular session Tesla shares climbed early Tuesday, buoyed by a steadier mood among rate-sensitive growth stocks following the latest U.S. inflation figures and a new analyst note highlighting autonomy. U.S. consumer prices climbed 0.3% in December, maintaining a 2.7% annual pace, according to the latest data. This keeps the Federal Reserve on track to leave rates unchanged at its Jan. 27-28 meeting. “We got a modicum of good news with today’s CPI report,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth, highlighting the slightly softer core inflation reading. Wolfe Research
