Stocks Reporter FXStreet

NASDAQ:LCID is taking steps to take on its main rival Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) with its new DreamDrive driver assistance system. Shares of LCID gained slightly on the news, adding 0.83% on Wednesday, and closing the trading session at $23.06. It was another red day overall for the broader markets as all three major indices fell lower for the third straight session. EV stocks were mixed on the day, with industry leader Tesla pacing the sector gaining 1.74%. XPeng (NYSE:XPEV), Fisker (NYSE:FSR), General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Ford (NYSE:F) were all trading higher, while Nio (NYSE:NIO) and Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) were the lone EV makers below water.

Lucid unveiled more details about its DreamDrive driver assist system recently, and the company seems to be taking shots at what is not working with Tesla’s FSD system. DreamDrive will use a total of 32 on-board sensors, cameras, and radars, and will introduce the first ever automotive LiDAR system in North America. Keep in mind that Lucid is calling this system a driver assist system, rather than a self-driving system. As Lucid nears production and delivery of its first fleet of vehicles, Tesla remains tied up with regulatory red tape over the safety of its FSD technology.

LCID stock price forecast

Speaking of Tesla, the company reported its delivery figures for China on Tuesday before the opening bell. In the month of September, Tesla delivered a staggering 56,006 vehicles to the Chinese market. This is a new record for the company in China, although it should be noted that this includes vehicles that are exported out of China for sale, so the actual number of Teslas sold within China is a much smaller number. Still, it is a glowing report on how Tesla is ramping up its production at the Shanghai GigaFactory, just as it prepares to open the Berlin GigaFactory later this year.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs near 1.1820

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances to the area of daily peaks north of the 1.1800 barrier at the end of the week. The pair’s decent move higher comes against the backdrop of a generalised lack of direction in the FX galaxy and the mild offered stance in the US Dollar.

GBP/USD trims losses, retests 1.3460

After briefly challenging its key 200-day SMA near 1.3440, GBP/USD now manages to regain some balance and revisit the 1.3460 zone on Friday. Cable’s pullback comes as the selling pressure on the Greenback gathers traction, reigniting some recovery in the risk-linked space.

Gold flirts with four-week highs past $5,200

Gold extends its rebound, climbing for a third consecutive session and pushing back above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The move higher continues to draw support from lingering geopolitical tensions and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding US trade policy, both of which are keeping safe-haven demand firmly in play.

Iran escalation: Quick thoughts on markets

Markets are likely to open the week with risk-off, with declines led by airlines, cyclicals and trade-exposed names, while energy, defense and “strategic” sectors may be relatively steadier.

Oil at a critical breakpoint: Will geopolitics trigger the next major move?

The week ahead blends two powerful forces: moderating economic momentum and increasing geopolitical tension. While US and Eurozone data suggest steady but unspectacular growth, rising friction between the US and Iran is injecting a fresh risk premium into energy markets.
