NASDAQ:LCID saw yet another volatile day on the markets as the stock has been a rollercoaster ride for investors since it debuted on Wall Street. On Thursday, shares of LCID surged higher by 10.38% and closed the trading day at $44.98. It was a nice rebound for Lucid after it tanked on Wednesday following the IPO of a new competitor in the space. Lucid bounced back alongside the NASDAQ index which plummeted by 1.66% the session before on the news of rising inflation rates in the US market. Lucid is trading at nearly double its 200-day moving average and way above its 50-day moving average, which illustrates how much Lucid has gained over the past few weeks.

The IPO of Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) was much anticipated by those who follow the EV sector. After a rough first day for some EV stocks, the sector managed to bounce back as Rivian soared higher by 22.1% on Thursday. The rise in the stock price officially gave Rivian a valuation of over $100 billion, making it the most valuable automaker in the United States aside from Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Rivian has come under criticism considering the company has yet to make many sales at all, although high profile partnerships with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Ford (NYSE:F) have boosted its reputation amongst investors.

LUCID motors stock forecast

Speaking of Tesla, enigmatic CEO Elon Musk is fresh off selling a $5 billion stake in his own company, which caused a two-day tumble in Tesla’s stock. On Thursday, Musk had a warning for those who were getting excited about Rivian’s debut. Musk warned that scaling the company for higher production and breaking even on cash flow would be the most difficult things for Rivian to accomplish. Musk had a similar warning for Lucid as its stock was skyrocketing, and if anyone would know about scaling an EV company, it would be him.

AUD/USD sticks to neutral bias above 0.7100 amid bullish USD undertone

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7100 during the Asian session on Monday as the US Dollar stalls its modest pullback from the highest level since late July amid persistent geopolitical uncertainties.

USD/JPY edges up at the start of a new week, stalling its retracement slide from 158.00, or a two-week top touched in reaction to the BoJ's dovish rate hike on Friday. Escalating tensions in the Middle East, along with bets for another Fed rate hike this year, lend some support to the US Dollar and the currency pair. Bulls, however, seem hesitant and await further geopolitical developments.

Gold remains depressed below $4,400 as Fed hike bets and Mideast jitters support USD

Gold struggles to capitalize on its recovery gains registered over the past two days and attracts fresh sellers at the start of a new week. The risk of a broader Middle East conflict helps the safe-haven US Dollar stall Friday's retracement slide from the highest level since late July. Moreover, the Fed's hawkish outlook supports the buck and keeps the non-yielding bullion depressed below $4,400.

The week ahead: Hawkish Fed sets the tone for flash PMIs, SNB decides on policy

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (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.
