Rivian sold Wall Street on an electric SUV. Then reality hit.

Posted by Soo Youn on Saturday, May 21, 2022 In : 848FINACE 



After buying stock in Rivian — the electric vehicle maker that promised a hotly anticipated SUV or truck version of a Tesla — at $72 a share, San Francisco tech program manager Carter Gibson wasn’t thrilled when the price dropped to an all-time low of $19.25 this past week.

A Wall Street darling, backed by Ford and Amazon, the latter of which placed an order for 100,000 electric delivery trucks, Rivian Automotive Inc. had the biggest IPO of 2021. The company was valued at more than Gener...

Powell: Fed to keep hiking rates until it controls inflation

Posted by CHRISTOPHER RUGABER on Saturday, May 21, 2022 In : Technical Analysis 




WASHINGTON (AP) — Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday underscored the Federal Reserve's determination to keep raising interest rates until there is clear evidence inflation is steadily falling — a high-stakes effort that carries the risk of causing an eventual recession.

“What we need to see is inflation comi...

Crypto Rout: Another Stablecoin Falls After UST and Luna

Posted by TheStreet on Saturday, May 21, 2022 In : #WATCHLiST 


Crypto investors no longer know where to turn.

Crypto pricing is now correlated with the stock market, which means that, as the saying goes, when the stock market coughs, digital-currency prices catch pneumonia.

This has persisted this year due to fears of recession. That concern in turn has been fueled by inflation, which is at its highest in 40 years, and by the continuing disruption of supply chains, most recently made worse as covid-19 resurged in China.

Investors have been liquidating asset...

Americans Just Realized These Stores Are Overcharging Them

Posted by Serah Louis on Tuesday, May 10, 2022 In : 848FINACE 



Senior Staff Writer

I was able to find over $400 in savings. Here's how.

Terra’s LUNA Declines 10% Amid UST Depegging Concern

Posted by Ekin Genç on Monday, May 9, 2022 In : Technical Analysis 




Although a 1% depeg from $1 isn’t unusual for stablecoins when markets are under pressure, in the case of UST, it’s been more than 16 hours.

Terra’s native token, LUNA, since yesterday has plummeted about 10% to $65.80 on fears that Terra’s stablecoin UST, propped up mainly by LUNA, may lose its peg.

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies such as the U.S. dollar on a 1:1 basis. Depegging refers to stablecoins going above $1 or, more commonly, below $1.
