BY THE NUMBERS

The Dow is set to start the week where it left off. The 30-stock average closed at another record Friday and so did the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, following a better-than-expected October jobs report. All three benchmarks saw solid gains in the first week of November. (CNBC)

Stocks in the premarket got a boost from the House late Friday passing an over $1 trillion infrastructure bill, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden.

But a budget-score demand from a handful of centrists delayed approval of the bigger bill. (CNBC)

Ether, the world's second-largest digital coin, surged more than 4% in 24 hours Monday to hit a new all-time high above $4,700. Bitcoin, the biggest crypto, climbed 5% to $66,250, inching back toward its record high above $66,900, set in late October. The reason for the move wasn't clear. Cryptocurrencies are known for their volatile price swings. (CNBC)

Shares of Tesla (TSLA), more than 70% higher year to date and nearly 180% in the past 12 months, sank 5% in Monday's premarket. Tesla's stock market value would still be worth well over $1 trillion if the stock were to open around where it is in the premarket. In a Twitter poll Saturday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk proposed selling 10% of his stock in the electric auto maker. (CNBC)

More than 3.5 million people responded and nearly 58% of them voted for "Yes." Musk said he would "abide by the results of this poll, whichever way it goes." However, facing a $15 billion tax bill in the coming months on stock options, a Musk sale of Tesla stock this year was probably likely regardless of the Twitter vote. (CNBC)
