What had Nio surging by more than 10% during intraday trading? Chinese economic data revealed consumer prices and producer costs both slowed during the month of August. The August CPI rose by 2.5%, which was slower than the 2.7% for July and well below the 2.8% that was widely forecasted by analysts. The results were the first sign that the Chinese economy could be recovering despite the ongoing COVID lockdowns. The data sent the Hang Seng index in Hong Kong higher during Asian trading as well. Nio in particular had mentioned that higher costs were eating into their margins in the previous quarter, so lower production costs will likely lead to higher profits.

NIO stock forecast

China’s EV leader BYD has made plans for its first production facility outside of China. The company announced it will build a location in Thailand with production to begin as early as 2024. The move is the latest in BYD’s global expansion that will see the company debut EVs in markets like Japan and Germany in the near future.
