Investing.com — U.S. stocks are wobbling on Tuesday, ahead of the start of the latest two-day policy meeting of the Federal Reserve and as investors look toward Apple (NASDAQ:)’s earnings and the October jobs report.
Here are some of the biggest U.S. stock movers today:

-
Pinterest (NYSE:) stock soared 17.1% after the image sharing platform reported third quarter results that topped expectations as efforts to improve monetization of its international users on its platform bolstered performance.

-
Tesla (NASDAQ:) stock rose 0.1% after the EV manufacturer’s key supplier Panasonic (OTC:) said it cut automotive battery production in the September quarter, cementing concerns of a global slowdown in electric-vehicle sales.
