Tesla Inc. stock rallied 10% on Tuesday after the EV maker reported a milder drop in sales for April through June.

At 10:36 am EDT, Tesla stock was at $230.86, higher by $21.00 or 10.01%.

The electric vehicle maker’s global sales dropped for the second straight quarter despite price cuts and low-interest financing offers, but the numbers were better than analysts had forecast.

Austin, Texas-based Tesla said it sold 436,956 vehicles from April through June, down 4.8% from 466,140 sold the same period last year.

US stocks were drifting on Tuesday ahead of a jobs report.

The S&P 500 was 0.1% lower in early trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up less than 0.1% and the Nasdaq composite was 0.1% lower. 

Shares of chip giant Nvidia fell 1.6% and Eli Lily dropped 2.9%.

In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury slipped to 4.41% from 4.46% late on Monday.
