NYSE:NIO saw its momentum carry over from May as the Chinese EV maker saw its stock rise for the sixth straight day on Wednesday. Shares of Nio added a further 1.04% and closed the first trading session of June at $17.57. Some comments from the Fed caused another choppy day of trading as all three major averages closed in the red. Fed President James Bullard mentioned that reigning inflation in is still the top priority for the Fed, although he also mentioned he does not foresee a recession at this time. The Dow Jones lost a further 176 basis points, while the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ dropped lower by 0.75% and 0.72% respectively during the session.

All three of Nio, XPeng (NYSE:XPEV), and Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) reported both sequential growth over April deliveries as well as on a year-over-year basis. Li Auto and XPeng were both affected less than Nio was during the Shanghai lockdowns, and expectedly managed to deliver more vehicles than Nio during the month. Shares of Li Auto closed higher by 1.56% while XPeng closed lower by 2.47% on Wednesday.

This should give a boost to sales for EV makers in the second half of 2022.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar.

The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
