Top 20 in US Stock Trading Volume: Tesla Rose Nearly 10%, It Is Reported That the US Plans to Relax Autopilot Supervision
On Friday, Tesla ranked first in US stock trading volume. It closed up 9.80%, with a trading volume of $46.225 billion. The news that the US plans to relax autopilot supervision pushed up its stock price. It has increased by more than 18% this week.
It is reported that the US government will relax the supervision of autonomous driving, cutting the originally cumbersome accident reporting process. Test vehicles that are not for commercial use can skip some compliance procedures. This move is regarded as the biggest relaxation of autonomous driving regulations in the US, directly hitting the core demand of Tesla, and giving the green light to Musk's Cybercab autonomous taxi fleet planned to be launched in Texas in June this year.
In addition, according to the emails seen by the media, Tesla's Indian office is refunding the deposits to the early reservation holders of Model 3 in India, which has triggered speculation that the American electric vehicle manufacturer is about to launch models in the world's third-largest automobile market.
Nvidia ranked second, closing up 4.30%, with a trading volume of $27.305 billion. On Friday, Joseph Moore, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, raised the performance forecast for Nvidia in 2026, saying that the idea that artificial intelligence is in a digestion stage is "ridiculous".
Moore wrote in a report to clients: "In the past four weeks, although investors' sentiment has deteriorated due to macro and supply chain risks, globally, there is a shortage of inference chips related to most large language models, and the core demand for GPUs has increased significantly."
He said: "Although Wall Street is anxious about a series of very real concerns, the focus in Silicon Valley has shifted to a completely different challenge - since the beginning of the year, the number of generated tokens has increased by more than 5 times, which has greatly squeezed the ecosystem and driven a surge in investment in handling these workloads."
Palantir ranked third, closing up 4.64%, with a trading volume of $11.303 billion. The stock has increased by more than 20% this week. On Wednesday, Google and Palantir announced that Google Cloud would be introduced into Palantir's platform project FedStart. This project allows large companies and start-ups to provide their software to US federal government agencies.
Meta Platforms ranked fourth, closing up 2.65%, with a trading volume of $9.266 billion. It is reported that the company and Booz Allen Hamilton have started to deploy Meta's open-source artificial intelligence model "Large Language Model (Llama)" in space.
Strategy ranked eighth, closing up 5.24%, with a trading volume of $6.998 billion. Cryptocurrency-related stocks generally rose on Friday. According to the news, Bitcoin rose above $95,000, for the first time since February 24, up nearly 2% on the day, and has increased by about 12% since last week.
Broadcom ranked twelfth, closing up 2.21%, with a trading volume of $4.043 billion. According to supply chain news, American chip design giants such as Nvidia and Broadcom are actively testing Intel's 18A node. Next year, Intel plans to hand over the computing tile in its new desktop processor Nova Lake to TSMC's 2nm process for manufacturing.
T-Mobile US ranked fourteenth, closing down 11.22%, with a trading volume of $3.18 billion. T-Mobile announced that its revenue in the first quarter was $20.89 billion, a year-on-year increase of 6.6%, and the market expectation was $20.68 billion; the adjusted earnings per share was $2.58, and the market expectation was $2.47.

Eli Lilly ranked fifteenth, closing up 2.89%, with a trading volume of $2.963 billion. The company announced on Wednesday that it has filed a legal lawsuit against four compounding pharmacies, accusing them of illegally producing and selling unapproved compound drugs containing tirzepatide. Compound drugs refer to drugs made by mixing, combining, or changing the ingredients of drugs.
Intel ranked sixteenth, closing down 6.70%, with a trading volume of $2.926 billion.
