Tesla (TSLA) will release its Q1 2026 earnings next week on April 22 after the market closes. The stock has gained 12.6% in the last five days and is now approaching the $400 level.

A man walks among buildings destroyed in a joint attack by Israel and the United States on April 6, 2026, in Tehran, Iran. Majid Saeedi | Getty Images Policymakers around the world are closely watching developments in the Middle East as they gauge the most prudent response to the economic fallout of the war. CNBC spoke to more than 30 central bankers, politicians and policymakers at the IMF World Bank meetings in Washington, DC, this week, who weighed in on the U.S.-Iran war and their biggest economic concerns. The interviews came before Iran's Friday declaration that the Strait of Hormuz is completely open to commercial traffic during the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

But Trump said the U.S. naval blockade of Iran's ports will remain in effect until an agreement is reached with Tehran. 1.

The first answer is, it has already had an impact," Pierre Gramegna, managing director of the European Stability Mechanism, told CNBC's Karen Tso on the sidelines of the IMF World Bank meetings. "I mean, look at inflation rates in the last months. Look at what's going on in our gas stations all over the world. The impact is obvious." Quoting the Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez, Gramegna's answer to whether the war and its impact will last was "it is easier to start a war than to end a war." "To start a war, you don't need to ask anybody, you're on your own. But to end it you need...
