NASDAQ:LCID finished the week off in style as investors shrugged off OPEX volatility and drove the stock higher. Shares of Lucid jumped by 8.46% on Friday and closed the trading day at $22.96. The move pushed Lucid’s price back over the key 200-day moving average, which implies a change in sentiment to bullish. Despite the volatility on Friday, electric vehicle stocks were trading higher as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) gained 0.33%, Nio (NYSE:NIO) added 1.13%, and XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) climbed by 3.83%.

Yet another major investment institution has initiated coverage of Lucid, and the results were music to the ears of shareholders. CitiGroup analyst Itay Michaeli initiated coverage with a buy rating and a $28.00 price target, which is just short of the Wall Street high price target of $30.00 given by Bank of America. On the other end of the range is noted Lucid bear Adam Jonas of Morgan Stanley, who provided a $12.00 price target for the stock. Reception has been mostly positive for Lucid’s stock, with advanced technology and the top EPA range in the industry being the leading factors.

LCID stock price forecast

Elsewhere, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) backed electric truck maker Rivian, received formal approval to deliver its vehicles to consumers in all 50 states. Production of the Rivian R1T officially kicked off this past week, and delivery is expected to begin by the end of the month. The production means that Rivian officially beat both Tesla’s Cybertruck and Ford’s F-150 Lightning to production, which means it is the only fully electric pickup truck currently on the market.

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

GBP/USD weakens to near 1.3300 as geopolitical risks bolster US Dollar

The GBP/USD pair attracts some sellers to around 1.3310 during the early European session on Wednesday.

Gold sticks to intraday gains above $5,150; upside seems limited amid bullish USD

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple struggle for direction as consolidation persists

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple prices trade with a cautious tone at the time of writing on Wednesday as upside momentum continues to fade across the broader crypto market. BTC remains within a parallel channel, ETH struggles below key resistance, while XRP remains fragile within a descending channel. These top three cryptocurrencies by market capitalization continue to struggle to establish a directional bias amid the consolidation phase.

When rates start driving the bus through a war zone

The volatility regime itself is also changing character. EM carry trades thrive in calm markets. They suffocate in environments that resemble Buckaroo Banzai trading conditions, where headlines move faster than models. That is exactly the world investors are now trying to recalibrate to. Euro rate volatility had been remarkably subdued even while equities were wobbling. That stability is now being questioned, and once volatility leaks into rates it rarely stays contained. Indeed, carry trades love calm seas. War turns the ocean into white water.
