Nio (NIO) extended its recent declines to start October despite one of the best trading days for US markets since July. On Monday, shares of NIO fell by 1.8% and closed the trading session at a price of $15.49. All three major indices soared to start the fourth quarter of what has been a miserable year for Wall Street. The relief rally came after a volatile end to September where stocks saw their biggest losses since March of 2020. Overall, the Dow Jones added 768 basis points, the S&P 500 gained 2.6%, and the NASDAQ rose higher by 2.3% during the session.

Nio stock price

Nio reported its delivery numbers for both September and the third quarter before the markets opened on Monday. For the quarter, Nio surpassed rivals XPeng (XPEV) and Li Auto (LI) in terms of total deliveries. The company reported 10,878 vehicle deliveries in September and 31,607 for the quarter. This represents a 29.3% YoY rise and a 26.1% sequential rise from the second quarter. Nio was hampered by production shutdowns earlier in the year but has since benefited from the release of new vehicles like the ET5 sedan.

Industry leader Tesla (TSLA) also reported its delivery figures, and unfortunately for shareholders they came in lower than analyst estimates. Tesla delivered 343,000 vehicles and produced 365,000 for the quarter. Analysts had estimated that deliveries would come in at around 364,660 vehicles, so the company missed by about 22,000. Shares of TSLA tumbled by 8.6% on Monday.

GBP/USD extends the drop to 1.3360

GBP/USD builds on Monday’s decline and briefly clinches five-day lows near 1.3360 on Tuesday. Cable’s extra pullback follows the better tone in the Greenback as uncertainty in the Middle East prompts investors to adopt a cautious stance. Meanwhile, an apathetic UK labour market report also collaborates with the selling pressure on the British Pound.

EUR/USD stays offered just above 1.1400

EUR/USD keeps the downtrend well in place for yet another day, challenging the 1.1400 contention zone on Tuesday. The continuation of the selling impulse in spot comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar, which continues to find support in the persistent effervescence surrounding the US-Iran crisis.

Middle East crisis intensifies, Gold up

Gold now seems to have embarked on a consolidative phase below the key $4,100 mark per troy ounce in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict and rising expectations for a hawkish Fed policy outlook are expected to limit the precious metal’s bullish momentum in the near term.

XRP rebounds on rising on-chain activity

Ripple (XRP) ticks up and trades around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday. This rebound aligns with a broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market, attributed to reports that mediators between the United States (US) and Iran are seeking a 10-day cessation of strikes to find a way back to the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The Iranian war has again risen

The Iranian war has again risen to the top of the economics factor list. There is no end in sight. Intelligence experts say the current level of offense/retaliation will not change minds in Tehran, while in Washington, Trump fears all-out war, which would mean boots on the ground.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
