NASDAQ:MULN extended its decline on Wednesday, despite a broader market rally that sent the NASDAQ soaring higher. Shares of MULN inched lower by 0.52% and closed the trading day at $0.87. With the recent shareholder vote for the dilution of shares, Mullen will now need to climb back above the $1.00 price level within the next 30 trading days to regain NASDAQ compliance.

All three major indices soared following the Fed rate hike of 75 basis points for the month of July. Overall, the Dow Jones jumped by 436 basis points, while the S&P 500 and NASDAQ cruised higher by 2.62% and 4.06% respectively during the session.

Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) CEO RJ Scaringe announced that the company is looking to cut 6% of its workforce. This hasn’t been unusual for companies in the current environment, especially following a 10% workforce cut by industry leader Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). While Rivian has been able to confirm that it will reach its production targets for the year, automakers are still battling with rising costs that are eating into automotive margins. Shares of RIVN were up by 1.01% on Wednesday.

Mullen stock price

As can be expected when the NASDAQ is trading higher, EV stocks were also on the rise. Tesla led the way with a 6.17% rebound, while Rivian, Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID), and Nio (NYSE:NIO) were all well above water. Ford (NYSE:F) reported its earnings after the close and beat on both the top and bottom line for the quarter. Shares of Ford were up slightly in after hours trading.

EUR/USD looks to stabilize near 1.1600 as focus shifts to US data

EUR/USD is looking to stabilize near 1.1600 in the European session on Wednesday as traders breathe a sigh of relief before the top-tier US ADP jobs and ISM Services PMI data. A pause in the US Dollar uptrend helps the pair's recovery, but surging energy prices due to the Iran war will likely remain a drag.

GBP/USD stays weak under 1.3350 as USD preserves gains

GBP/USD stays in the red below 1.3350 in the European session on Wednesday. Escalating conflict in the Middle East keeps the "flight to safety" theme intact, supporting the US Dollar against the Pound Sterling. Traders will take more cues from the US ADP Employment and ISM Services Purchasing Managers Index reports, which are due later on Wednesday.

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

Gold preserves its modest intraday gains through the Asian session on Wednesday and currently trades just above the $5,150 level, up around 1.30% for the day. Investors remain concerned about a prolonged conflict in the Middle East and its impact on the global economy amid an already uncertain environment.

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.

Solana Price Forecast: SOL consolidation near resistance as ETF inflows offer mild support

Solana price is facing slight rejection as it approaches the upper boundary of the consolidation range at around $88 on Wednesday. Institutional demand is strengthening as spot Exchange Traded Funds recorded two consecutive inflows so far this week.
