NIO Stock Forecast: Nio Inc blasts higher as new model details are leaked

NYSE:NIO managed to shrug off last week’s decline on Monday as a key piece of news was leaked by a Chinese publication. Shares of Nio flew higher following the news leak, as the stock gained 7.32% during Monday’s trading session, closing the day at $41.49. It was welcome news for Nio investors as the climb came on a day where many growth stocks were pummeled as the ten-year treasury bond yield spiked.

The Federal Reserve will be implementing its stimulus tapering policies later this year, and many are expecting to see a bearish pull back in the broader markets.
