Tesla stock leap helps to boost US futures

S&P 500 futures are up 12 points, or 0.2% ahead of the open. Leading the way is Tesla, where shares are up 12% after Elon Musk visited China in a surprise visit that included the tentative approval of FSD technology in the country.

Apple is also starting the week strong with a 2% after an upgrade.

Another winner — and a sign of a decent consumer — is Dominoes Pizza. Shares are up 5% after comp sales beat and the company said it saw the largest order growth in lower income brackets in Q1.
