Nio stock (NIO) is certainly demonstrating enough volatility for the last two sessions. NIO stock surged on Wednesday, adding 12% before giving it all back and some on Thursday when NIO closed at $17.77. The stock remains under pressure, and the latest surge in nickel prices will not help. Morgan Stanley earlier picked up on this, saying it would add $1,000 to the price of electric vehicles. Business Insider yesterday said it would now add $2,000 to the selling price of EVs. Neither is a good result, and margins will continue to be pressured by surging commodity and input prices, as well as shipping costs.

Nio Stock News

News out late last night hit Chinese internet stocks hard in the afterhours market. The main Chinese internet ETF (KWEB) fell nearly 10% on Thursday, mainly on the back news that the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) has identified several Chinese companies that may be delisted if they fail to comply with auditing requirements. The companies mentioned are Yum China (YUMC), ACM Research (ACMR), BeiGene (BEIGF), HutchMed (HCM), and ZaiLab (ZLAB). While NIO was not among those stocks mentioned by the SEC, all Chinese tech stocks suffered contagion effects. This renews fears of delisting that surfaced late last year when DIDI was delisted. This was only after a successful listing for DIDI in New York a few months previous.

We also note rumours this morning of some form of potential agreement or partnership between Nio and Warren Buffet-backed BYD (BYDDY). CNEVPost reported on Thursday that BYD Chairman Wang Chaunfu was spotted at NIO House campus with Nio founder and CEO William Li.

Nio Stock Forecast

The bearish trend continues now that Nio has broken the support at $18.48. This brings into focus the big old high from July 2020 around $15. There is a volume gap from $18 to $15, which could mean a sharp drop, but $15 does have decent volume so should stabilise the fall. There is an important gap from $10.72 to $9.38. $27.34 remain the bearish pivot, above NIO is back to being bullish.

EUR/USD holds losses below 1.1850 ahead of FOMC Minutes

EUR/USD stays on the back foot below 1.1850 in the European session on Wednesday, pressured by renewed US Dollar demand and reports that ECB President Lagarde will step down before the end of her term. Traders now look forward to the Minutes of the Fed's January monetary policy meeting for fresh signals on future rate cuts.

GBP/USD defends 1.3550 after UK inflation data

GBP/USD is holding above 1.3550 in Wednesday's European morning, little changed following the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release. The UK inflation eased as expected in January, reaffirming bets for a March BoE interest rate cut, especially after Tuesday's weak employment report.

Gold retains bullish bias amid Fed rate cut bets, ahead of Fed Minutes

Gold sticks to modest intraday gains through the early European session, reversing a major part of the previous day's heavy losses of more than 2%, to the $4,843-4,842 region or a nearly two-week low. That said, the fundamental backdrop warrants caution for bulls ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which will look for more cues about the US Federal Reserve's rate-cut path.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far. The steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
