NASDAQ:MULN continued its momentum from earlier in the week as the startup EV maker has now gained more than 144% since Monday. On Thursday, shares of MULN hit orbit as the penny stock jumped by 39.43% and closed the trading session at $2.44. It was yet another bullish day on Thursday as all three major indices extended their rally and closed higher for the third consecutive day. Even with the price of oil rebounding for its largest gain of the week, the Dow Jones added a further 417 basis points, the S&P 500 added 1.23%, and the NASDAQ extended its winning streak with 1.33% gain.

After Yahoo Finance ran a feature on Mullen Automotive where it identified the company as a standout in the EV space, the stock rallied sharply on Thursday. It was yet another positive headline for Mullen this week after its solid-state battery technology was highlighted, as well as a recent article from CarBuzz that featured its FIVE crossover EV. Investors should still be aware that Mullen is a speculative, pre-revenue penny stock with a market cap of only $85 million. With production still at least a year away, Mullen wouldn’t be the first EV startup to not reach expectations.

MULN stock forecast

Industry leader, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), had one of its best sessions in weeks after CEO Elon Musk unveiled the company’s Master Plan Part 3. Now not many details were provided as it was just a singular tweet from Musk, but it seemed to be enough to get diehard Tesla fans excited. Musk wrote Part 1 of the Master Plan back in 2006 and Part in 2016. Part 2 included FSD technology in Tesla’s vehicles so perhaps Musk believes Part 2 to be mostly completed. Shares of Tesla were up 3.73% during Thursday’s session.

USD/JPY sticks to modest gains above 157.50 as traders await Fed, BoJ meetings

USD/JPY attracts buyers for the third straight day, recovering further from a one-month low ahead of Wednesday’s FOMC decision and the BoJ policy update on Friday. Meanwhile, expectations that the BoJ may hold off on aggressive rate hikes weigh on the Japanese Yen, and the US Dollar advances to a nearly two-week high, supporting the currency pair.

Gold advances modestly past $4,000

Gold looks to consolidate Tuesday’s humble gains just above the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce. Indeed, the precious metal adds to Monday’s bounce despite the better tone in the US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and steady caution ahead of the FOMC event on Wednesday.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP on edge as sell-side pressure intensifies

Cryptocurrency prices are broadly correcting on Tuesday, led by Bitcoin (BTC) edging lower below the pivotal $80,000 level. Ethereum (ETH) mirrors Bitcoin’s neutral-to-bearish outlook, while Ripple (XRP) hovers around $1.30.

Experts agree: Fed policy outlook and geopolitical tensions keep US Dollar bid

The US Dollar Index rallies 0.6% in three days and hits fresh two-week highs above 102.00. Investors return to the US Dollar as markets brace for a hawkish hold by the Fed on Wednesday. Waning hopes of any immediate US-Iran peace deal have provided additional support to the safe-haven USD.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
