NASDAQ:LCID investors had a lot to celebrate on Monday as the luxury electric vehicle maker kicked the week off in style. Shares of LCID gained 2.16% on Monday, and closed the first trading session of the week at $44.88. The move coincided with President Biden officially signing his bipartisan infrastructure plan into law which will provide billions of dollars in funding for the electric vehicle industry. All three major indices closed the day flat though, with the Dow Jones and the NASDAQ trimming 0.04% apiece, and the S&P 500 ending the session unchanged. It was another slow session for growth stocks, particularly with EV industry leader Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) falling by a further 1.94% to start the week.

Lucid announced its third quarter financial results on Monday. The company reported that it saw a significant increase in customer reservations, growing from 13,000 at the start of the quarter to 17,000 currently. This represents an impressive order book of $1.3 billion, as the company continues to work towards strengthening its balance sheet and re-investing into production infrastructure. Understandably, Lucid’s first official earnings call as a publicly traded company was more about highlighting recent accomplishments and outlook for the rest of the year.

The Lucid Air received another feather in its cap on Monday, after the luxury EV was named the MotorTrend 2022 Car of the Year. It is the first time in the award’s history that the first vehicle produced by a brand has won the award, and the timing of the announcement couldn’t have been better. MotorTrend has been among the publications that has given the Lucid Air a glowing review, and there could be more accolades on the way.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital

If, after two years of being frozen in ice, Katara and Sokka woke you up to the crypto market, it would seem like 100 years have passed. With Bitcoin soaring to record highs just over a year ago, everyone expected a routine altcoin season, where investors take profits from the top crypto to chase higher returns in altcoins.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The BoJ raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the policy phase had changed.
