The stakes are high for Tesla when the electric vehicle giant reports results after the bell Wednesday. Analysts polled by LSEG expect the company to report earnings of 58 cents per share on $25.37 billion in revenue. The company posted adjusted earnings per share of 52 cents and revenue of $25.50 billion last quarter .

Small-cap stocks are looking very good right now. Lower rates can boost smaller companies by allowing them to borrow money for cheaper and expand their businesses. Smaller companies are more vulnerable to economic cycles. Despite this recently strong performance, small caps are still lagging their large-cap counterparts for the year. To be sure, some on the Street are pointing to another driver for small caps: the potential of a Trump victory on Election Day.

He told them the Trump campaign would need "hundreds of millions of dollars" to compete with Vice President Kamala Harris' fundraising surge. The Ohio Republican's opposition to Wall Street was on full display during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July.
