Stocks Reporter FXStreet

NASDAQ:IDEX saw a rare positive day in the market on Friday as the beleaguered electric vehicle stock gained +4.72% on the day to end the week at $1.33 per share. The stock actually touched as high as $1.43 at the high point of the day, but settled back to $1.33 by the end of the trading session. Still, it is a sign of hope for investors who have been losing faith in the company after being well over $3.00 per share only a month ago. The IDEX stock was still the sixth-highest stock that Robinhood accounts shed from their portfolios this week.

Ideanomics Inc Stock: A rare positive day for IDEX, despite sector losses

The recently red-hot electric vehicle market has cooled this week after an extended rally over the past few months. IDEX rivals finished the day mostly in the red as the NASDAQ finished slightly higher, adding 0.28% to finish at 10,503.19. Ayro (NASDAQ:AYRO), Nio (NASDAQ:NIO), Workhorse (NASDAQ:WKHS), Tortoise (NASDAQ:SHLL), and Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA) all took a beating on Friday, while Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) remained relatively flat as well.

Much of the auto industry headlines have been dominated by Ford (NYSE:F) after they announced the return of the Ford Bronco in various models. Ford also announced the all-electric F-150 pickup truck, which remains the highest selling vehicle in North America. With other big name car companies like BMW, Volkswagen, and Volvo all announcing their own electric vehicles are on the way, the market is suddenly very crowded, which is not necessarily good news for smaller companies like IDEX.

Micron prints perfect, and now the chart has to answer

Memory’s biggest name just delivered the cleanest quarter of its life, and the most interesting thing about it is that the stock isn’t sure what to do with it. Micron closed out fiscal Q3 with revenue of $41.5 billion, up 346% on the year, a fifth straight record. Gross margin came in at 84.9%, up from 39% the same quarter a year ago.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
