CCIV Stock Price: Lucid Motors – Churchill Capital IV (LCID) extends falls alongside peers

NASDAQ:LCID fell by 6.15% as the broader markets pulled back on Tuesday.
The electric vehicle sector slipped as Tesla reported mixed earnings.
Domestic EV Makers are struggling ahead of their earnings calls.

Stocks Reporter FXStreet

Update July 29: Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ: LCID, formerly CCIV) has kicked off Thursday's trading session with a drop of over 1% to below $24. The electric-vehicle company is under pressure alongside other companies in its sector. It seems that Tesla's robust earnings initially lifted all boats before sinking them. Moreover, there are doubts that Washington would provide sufficient funds for encouraging people to buy electric vehicles. The infrastructure bill is somewhat limited in scope. Critical support awaits at the monthly low close of $22.20 and resistance is at $26.83, Monday's impressive closing level.

NASDAQ:LCID could not follow up its impressive first day of trading on Monday, as the broader markets tumbled, snapping a five day winning streak for the S&P 500. Shares of Lucid gave back its gains from Monday, as the luxury EV maker dropped by 6.15% to close the trading day at $25.18. Stocks that have recently completed their mergers with SPACs have experienced volatility, so it should come as no surprise to see Lucid go through this as well. Still, the hype surrounding Lucid as a threat to Tesla is growing by the day, especially after CEO Peter Rawlinson provided an update for production capacity and vehicle reservations on Monday.

Stay up to speed with hot stocks' news!

Speaking of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), the industry leader reported its earnings after the market closed on Monday, to mixed results. The company did manage to top analyst expectations, and recorded its first ever quarter of $1 billion in revenues. The stock proceeded to fall by 1.95% on Tuesday, as a Needham analyst stated that the price of Tesla shares was already priced for perfection, with all of the growth already baked in. Generally, as Tesla goes, so do the rest of EV stocks, and that’s what happened on Tuesday as the entire sector finished in the red.

LCID stock news

Elsewhere in the electric vehicle world, iconic automaker General Motors (NYSE:GM) is battling with another recall of the Chevy Bolt.

Meanwhile, Ford (NYSE:F) was trading lower ahead of its quarterly earnings call on Wednesday, although the company did commit to a sizable investment in electric truck startup Rivian, of which Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is the main investor.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200 after hot Chinese CPI data

AUD/USD is extending its consolidative price action above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Wednesday, uninspired by hot Chinese CPI and PPI data. Meanwhile, rising RBA rate-hike bets act as a tailwind for the Aussie amid Yen-inspired US Dollar weakness. Traders await the release of US inflation figures later in the week for fresh impetus.

USD/JPY stays weak near 153.50 amid aggressive BoJ hike bets

USD/JPY attracts fresh sellers in the Asian session on Wednesday as the strong Reuters Tankan business survey adds to the case for continued BoJ policy normalisation and boosts the Japanese Yen.

Gold rebounds from $4,350; will it last?

Gold is rebounding from a one-week low near $4,350 in the Asian session on Wednesday. The US Dollar, however, struggles to lure buyers amid a rallying Yen, supporting the commodity as traders await the key US inflation data for a fresh impetus. However, the rebound could be short-lived amid expectations of a Fed rate hike this month.

Bitcoin takes a breather, Ethereum and XRP maintain bullish footing

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) are trading with a broadly constructive tone on Wednesday despite BTC's mild pullback over the past two days.

Gold and stocks: What eight midterm elections did

I went back through every midterm election since 1994 and asked one question of each: when did the stock market make its low for the year, before the vote or after it? In seven of the eight cycles, the low came before the election. In six of the eight, it came between mid-June and mid-October, which is to say in the exact window that the "they won't let it fall" argument says is protected.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
