Nio is considered a trailblazer in the Chinese premium electric vehicle market. The company designs, produces and vendors connected electric vehicles, using smart innovations in autonomous driving, artificial intelligence and connectivity.
The company introduced its first EP9 supercar in 2016. Nio aimed to deliver exceptional speeding up and innovative technology of the electric powertrain.
In 2017 the company launched its first high-volume manufactured EV model, the ES8, which is a seven-seater SUV with the body made completely from aluminum alloy. Later, in 2019, Nio started the first sales of the ES6, a 5-seater electric SUV.

Founded in 2014, Nio is headquartered in Shanghai. Nio shares floated on the New York Stock Exchange through an $1.8bn IPO in 2018. Since then the Nio stock quote has been listed and traded on the NYSE.
Since the beginning of 2020, the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer has positioned itself as a strong competitor for the iconic EV maker Tesla. During roughly 10 months of the year it generated an impressive 600 per cent return for investors.
The price of Nio stock showed an extraordinary performance, driven by an overall optimistic outlook for the electric vehicles industry and subsequent analysts’ price target hikes, which boosted the company’s valuation to $39bn.
Looking closely at the Nio stock price chart we can notice that a serious bull run started in June 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic accelerated a shift towards renewable energy sources.
In times when numerous countries have started favouring electric vehicles as an effective way to decrease the level of pollution, Nio has emerged as a well-grounded business capable of bringing significant profit from the world’s transformation and transition from fossil fuels to alternative sources of energy.

Providing their Nio stock predictions for the next 12 months the majority of Wall Street investors are rating the stock as a buy.
The company shared an ambitious goal to produce a total of 150,000 vehicles in 2021, which is a boost of 28,000 units per quarter. This plan can also contribute to a successful Nio stock rally once achieved.

Even as anticipation mounts ahead of the US jobs data due later today, investors may be bracing for more volatility in the week ahead thanks to another round of risk events.
Economic Calendar for Next Week
All eyes will be on the incoming US inflation data as well as speeches from financial heavyweights and other risk events which could spark some fresh action across markets.

Tuesday, May 9
CHN: China trade, money supply
AUD: Australia consumer confidence
EUR: ECB Chief Economic Philip Lane speech (IMF)

Friday, May 12

USD: University of Michigan consumer sentiment, Fed speeches
The April US consumer price index (CPI) report published on Wednesday 10th May will be exactly one week after the Federal Reserve raised rates and signalled a pause in further increases.
Given how Fed Chair Jerome Powell has left the door open to further tightening if incoming economic data warrants, this could add more spice to the report.
CPI Forecasts
Markets are forecasting:
CPI year-on-year (April 2023 vs. April 2022) to remain steady at 5.0%.
Core CPI year-on-year to cool 5.4% from the 5.6% in the prior month.
CPI month-on-month (April 2023 vs March 2023) to rise 0.4% from 0.1% in the prior month.
Core CPI month-on-month to cool 0.3% from the 0.4% in the prior month.
Ultimately, further evidence of inflation slowing down could reinforce expectations around the Federal Reserve pausing and eventually cutting interest rates. Should inflation remain sticky, this could rekindle bets around the Fed leaving interest rates higher for longer.
Expectations are rising over the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates with the chance of a 25-basis point cut in July currently priced at 53%, according to Fed funds futures! It will be interesting to see how the incoming inflation data shapes market expectations around the central bank’s next move.
How Might the Markets React to the CPI Report?
With all of the above discussed, here’s how these 3 assets could react to the US CPI report
USD Index
The past few months have been rough and rocky for the dollar as investors weighed the prospects of the Federal Reserve pausing and then eventually cutting interest rates. More pain could be in store for the dollar if US inflation cools more than expected in April.
A soft inflation print may drag the USD Index toward the 100.72 level. Should prices experience a bearish breakout, this could open the doors toward 100.
A sticky inflation print could throw a lifeline to dollar bulls, propelling back above 101.50 with 102.34 acting as a key level of interest.
SPX500_m
After being trapped within a range for the past few weeks, could a breakout be on the horizon for the SPX500_m?
If the inflation numbers beat expectations, this may trigger a bearish breakout on the SPX500_m – taking prices below the 4050-support level.
Should the inflation numbers come in lower than market forecasts, SPX500_m bulls could be injected with renewed confidence as expectations intensify over the Fed ending its rate cycle. This could send the index back toward the 4180 resistance level and beyond.
Gold
It may be wise to fasten your seatbelts for potential volatility on gold due to its high sensitivity to inflation data and US interest rate expectations. The precious metal remains bullish on the daily charts despite prices pulling back from near-record highs.
A soft inflation report could sweeten appetite for the zero-yielding asset as bets rise over the Fed cutting rates in 2023. This development could push the metal back towards the 2023 high of $2063 with bulls eyeing $2070 and the all-time high at $2075.
A stronger-than-expected inflation number could drag gold prices back toward the psychological $2000 level.
