Update April 26: Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) has closed Friday's session at $41.08, a daily gain of 3.76%, and completing an increase of some 12% from the lows under $35 seen beforehand. The surge is due to PResident Joe Biden's ambitious climate pledges, which favor electric vehicles over traditional ones. Moreover, optimism about the global recovery is lifting all boats. According to after-hours trading, shares of the Chinese EV-maker may further extend their gains ahead of its all-important earnings report.

NYSE:NIO is back on the radars of investors after hitting a triple bottom chart at around the $35 price level, signalling that the stock could be ready for a bullish swing. On Thursday, shares of the Chinese electric vehicle maker added 1.75% to close the day at $39.57, after reaching an intraday high price of $40.45 which is the highest point since the start of April. Shares of Nio are finally back at the crucial 50-day moving average, but are still lagging the 200-day moving average which shows the steep downward trend that NIO was on.

NIO has also announced it plans to upgrade its popular battery swap infrastructure to have 500 stations by the end of 2021, as well as striking a deal with Ford (NYSE:F) so that drivers of the new Ford EVs can use NIO charging stations as well.

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.
