Shares of Nio gained 1.06% on Tuesday and closed the trading session at $40.03 as the stock managed to reclaim the $40.00 price level for the first time since the first week of September. All three major indices finished Tuesday in the green as the S&P 500 closed higher for the fifth consecutive session following a strong start to the third quarter earnings season. The NASDAQ continued its recent surge with impressive Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) earnings after the close and the much anticipated Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) earnings on Wednesday.
