LCID Stock News: Lucid Group Inc rises as all EV boats rise with Tesla’s tide

NASDAQ:LCID extended its gains this week with a second straight positive session on Tuesday. Shares of Lucid jumped by 5.21% and closed the trading session at $28.87. Global markets were upbeat on Tuesday as it was reported that Russian troops moved away from the Ukraine border and back to their bases in Russia. It wasn’t an official announcement that the attack had been called off but it was enough for investors to buy back into the recent weakness. The NASDAQ led the way as the tech-heavy index gained 2.53%, while the S&P 500 climbed by 1.58%, and the Dow Jones added 422 basis points after snapping its recent three-day slide.

Lucid Motors stock forecast

Tesla’s gains were what buoyed the EV sector on Tuesday, as the EV maker had a couple of positive headlines. First, CEO Elon Musk reportedly donated $5 billion worth of Tesla shares to charity during his stock sell off earlier this year. In addition to this, it has been reported that Model Y vehicles have been spotted leaving Tesla’s new Austin GigaFactory. Once Austin and Berlin’s GigaFactories are online, Tesla anticipates growing its production by 50% per year for the foreseeable future.
