CCIV Stock Price: Lucid Motors – Churchill Capital IV snaps three-day uptrend, drops 3.50%

Update July 14:  CCIV shares (NYSE: CCIV) reversed sharply on Tuesday, halting the recovery from two-week lows of $23.55 amid negative sentiment across the American stock market. The US inflation soared and refueled Fed’s hawkish expectations, weighing on the investors’ sentiment. The stock price fell 3.50% to settle the day slightly below the $26 mark. On Monday, the share price of the SPAC company rallied over 5%, as investors remained hopeful ahead of the July merge with Lucid Motors. All eyes now remain on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony for fresh trading impetus.  

NYSE:CCIV finally put an end to its recent slide, two weeks to the day of the proposed merger with Lucid Motors. On Friday, shares of CCIV gained 2.36% to close the trading day at $25.55, as the broader markets rebounded from Wednesday’s decline. The EV sector was mixed on Friday, as industry leader Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) edged slightly higher, while Chinese automakers Nio (NYSE:NIO) and XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) fell once again amidst an ongoing investigation by the Chinese government.

The call will be a presentation, so CCIV shareholders will not be able to directly ask Rawlinson any questions, but Lucid is certainly going above and beyond for its future investors.
