Tesla's stock price jumped 10% in Monday's premarket as traders reacted to Elon Musk's China trip.
Musk seems to have won key support for rolling out Tesla's autonomous driving technology in China.
The Wall Street Journal reported that China's government had signaled to Musk that it would support Tesla's full self-driving rollout.
Signs of slowing demand in China have dragged on Tesla's stock price in recent months, although shares rallied last week after Musk's company said it planned to launch cheaper models in 2025.
"Musk winning FSD approval in the key China market is a watershed moment for the Tesla story in our view," Ives said in a note seen by BI.
