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.

Lucid motors stock forecast

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.

Warsh needs to restore his reputation

We were glad to see our deeply negative reaction to the Warsh press conference was not some personal peculiarity. Just about everybody in the financial press felt the same way. The consensus is building it’s not the Fed in the dog-house but only Warsh. Today the WSJ changed it tune and blasted Warsh—"the honeymoon is already over..”

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
