Stocks Reporter FXStreet

Nio (NIO) erased much of the gains it had made over the past two days as headwinds back in China continue to weigh on the stock. On Thursday, shares of NIO dropped by 7.7% and closed the trading session at a price of $9.98. Despite some positive news regarding the growth of the US economy in the third quarter, stocks were dragged down by the massive sell-off of Meta Platforms (META) following another quarter of missed earnings. Overall, the Dow Jones added 0.6%, the S&P 500 fell by 0.6%, and the Nasdaq dropped lower by 1.6% during the session.

Nio stock price

Chinese ADR stocks were back on the decline on Thursday as a new report showed a significant decline in industrial profits for the first nine months of the year. Adding to this is the unprecedented third term for President Xi, as well as fresh new breakouts of the novel coronavirus in some industrial hubs. It is certainly not a promising short-term outlook for the Chinese economy, and ADR stocks are reflecting this with another negative session on Thursday.

On the bright side, Nio continues to build up its charging and battery swap infrastructure, even as its stock is going through this difficult stretch. The company has now started to allow customers to swap batteries on a daily basis if needed, rather than previously when they could only do it once per month. Earlier this week, Nio also officially announced it is going to be getting into battery manufacturing after establishing a new subsidiary. Macroeconomic headwinds continue to weigh down the stock, but it cannot be denied that Nio is continuing to grow its operations in China and abroad.

AUD/USD flirts with 0.7000, lowest since early August amid bullish USD

AUD/USD hits a fresh low since early August during the Asian session on Friday and looks vulnerable near 0.7000 after breaking below the 200-day SMA overnight. Against the backdrop of the hawkish Fed, a two-day rally in oil prices revives inflation fears and continues to push US bond yields to multi-year highs. Adding to this, geopolitical risks lift the US Dollar to a two-month high, overshadowing RBA rate hike bets and weighing on the pair.

USD/JPY pulls back from three-week high after failing near 159.00

USD/JPY edges lower during the Asian session on Friday, stalling its recent strong move to a three-week high of 159.00 as Japanese Yen bears turn cautious amid intervention fears. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a strong bullish undertone as the Fed's hawkish outlook and oil-driven inflation fears continue to push US bond yields to multi-year peaks. Furthermore, the BoJ's dovish rate hike last week might cap JPY and support spot prices.

Gold treads water below $4,300

Gold grabs some buying attention and advances marginally at the end of the week, partially retracing the weekly decline, although it is still navigating below the key $4,300 mark per troy ounce. The fresh selling bias on the Greenback and the modest decline in US Treasury yields appear to support the humble advance in the precious metal.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin and Ethereum edge lower, XRP extends recovery as macro headwinds weigh

The broader cryptocurrency market is consolidating on Friday, with Bitcoin paring losses slightly above $84,000. Ethereum declines in tandem with BTC. Ripple (XRP), meanwhile, paints a different picture.

Fed vs BoJ: Both hiked. The market only believes one of them – and the chart shows which

The Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) have just done something remarkably similar. Both central banks raised interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) last week, both are confronting inflation risks, and both signal that future decisions will depend on incoming economic data.
