Abstract generation in progress

The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF VTI -0.18% ▼ , which tracks the broader U.S. market, is down 0.43% in pre-market trading on Thursday, continuing its decline from the previous session. The drop follows a more than 3% fall in Tesla TSLA -3.18% ▼ stock yesterday, after the NHTSA expanded its investigation into the company’s FSD program. TSLA is among VTI’s top 10 holdings, which adds pressure to the ETF. Meanwhile, investor sentiment has also weakened as U.S. markets remain volatile amid the ongoing conflict in Iran and rising oil prices — with the S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq both falling in pre‑market trading.
