Stock Market Today: Nio Rises 8% on Onvo L90 Launch Success Amid Soft Tech Market
Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio 's (NYSE: NIO) stock price jumped 8% on Thursday to close at $4.87, outpacing the broader market after its mass-market sub-brand Onvo reported an explosive start to L90 SUV sales. The stock hit an intraday high of $4.98. While shares remain about 37% below their 52-week high of $7.71, today's rally was one of the largest among U.S.-listed EV names. The S&P 500 declined 0.4% and the Nasdaq Composite edged down 0.03%, as investors digested a mix of earnings and macroeconomic updates. Nio's strong upside stood in contrast to most of the tech sector. Peer EV makers underperformed. Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) fell 1.2% to $12.87 amid concerns over a 22% drop in Q2 deliveries. Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) slipped 1.6% to $2.46 despite a modest rebound earlier this month, as analysts remain cautious on demand trends. The surge in Nio's share price followed news that its newly launched Onvo L90 SUV sold out its first 10,000-unit batch within three hours of opening online reservations. Analysts cited the quick sellout as a major sign of consumer interest in NIO's push into the mass market. The Onvo brand now accounts for roughly 40% of Nio's monthly deliveries. Deutsche Bank analysts estimate Nio generated approximately 26,000 orders in July, up 11% month-over-month and ahead of local EV rivals. Management reiterated a goal to reach adjusted profitability by Q4 2025, with a longer-term plan to scale margin expansion and infrastructure like battery swaps and autonomous driving chips.

Here's a timeline of Trump's tariffs on Canada
Social Sharing It's down to the wire on U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to raise his tariff on Canadian goods entering the United States to 35 per cent, up from the 25 per cent rate that he imposed soon after taking office. Trump set Aug. 1 as the deadline for Canada to reach a trade deal or face the tariff increase. Here's a brief timeline of the key tariffs on Canada. Feb. 1 Trump signs an executive order levying tariffs on Canadian exports to the U.S. at 25 per cent on all products, except energy, critical minerals and potash, which are hit with a rate of 10 per cent. The order justifies the tariffs as a way to "address the flow of illicit drugs across our northern border," citing fentanyl as a threat to national security. Trump later announces the tariffs will take effect March 4. WATCH | What a trade war with the U.S. would mean for Canada: March 6 Just two days after Trump's tariffs on Canada come into force, Trump amends his executive order, giving an exemption for products that comply with the terms of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). The exemption covers nearly 90 per cent of Canadian exports to the U.S., which means the vast bulk of products can cross the border tariff-free. Trump's tariff war on Canada has finally begun | About That 5 months ago April 29 After threatening to impose a 25 per cent tariff on automobiles and auto parts from outside the U.S., Trump waters down the levy, so it only applies to parts that aren't CUSMA-compliant and the non-U.S. portion of assembled vehicles. Still, the tariffs have an impact on Canada's auto sector and bite into the profits of North American automakers. WATCH | Here's where things stand with Trump's auto tariffs: U.S. tariffs on auto parts take effect, CUSMA-compliant parts exempt 3 months ago May 6 Prime Minister Mark Carney, just days after leading his Liberal Party to a minority election win, meets Trump at the White House. Carney presses Canada's case for the removal of tariffs, and while Trump speaks highly of his guest, the president gives no sign he's changing his mind on the issue. Carney mouths 'never' several times responding to Trump's 51st state idea 3 months ago Prime Minister Mark Carney silently mouthed the word 'never' five times and smiled after U.S. President Donald Trump said 'never say never' to the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state during the leaders' Oval Office sit-down. June 3 Separately from the tariffs on Canadian goods, Trump doubles his tariff on steel and aluminum imports from all countries, to 50 per cent. Canada is the top supplier of both products to the U.S. WATCH | How Canada's steel producers are reacting to Trump's latest tariff threat: Trump's new tariff threat 'punch in the gut' to Canada's steel industry: CSPA 2 months ago Catherine Cobden, head of the Canadian Steel Producers Association, says U.S. President Donald Trump's new threat, to double tariffs steel and aluminum tariffs to 50 per cent, 'completely unjustified' and Ottawa should quickly impose retaliatory tariffs. Read more: July 10 Trump threatens in a letter posted on his Truth Social platform to boost the tariff on Canadian goods to 35 per cent, effective Aug. 1. "If Canada works with me to stop the flow of Fentanyl, we will, perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter," Trump writes. Trump's tariff deadline: What a deal could cost Canada 15 days ago July 11 Goods that comply with CUSMA will continue to be exempt from the tariff even if the rate rises on Aug. 1, according to a White House official. WATCH | Why most Canadian exports still get into the U.S. tariff-free: CUSMA-compliant Canadian exports exempt from Trump's latest tariffs 1 hour ago July 25 One day after Canada's top negotiators downplay the prospects of getting a deal by Trump's deadline, the U.S. president also throws cold water on Canada's chances. "We haven't really had a lot of luck with Canada," he tells reporters at the White House. "I think Canada could be one [country] where there's just a tariff, not really a negotiation." U.S. and Canada might not reach trade deal, Trump says WATCH | 'We haven't really had a lot of luck with Canada,' Trump says: Trump on trade: 'I think Canada could be one where they'll just pay tariffs' 6 days ago President Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. is working 'very diligently' with the EU on tariff talks, and has 'the confines of a deal with China — though he didn't offer details. Trump added there's no deal with Canada, saying 'we haven't been focused on it.' July 30 Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada's negotiating team is back in Washington for trade talks but gives his clearest indication yet that Canada might not land a deal by Trump's Aug. 1 deadline. Then shortly after midnight, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, "Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them." WATCH | As Trump's deadline nears, Carney says deal may not happen in time: Carney says 'we'll see' about a U.S. trade deal by deadline 18 hours ago Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada's delegation negotiating with the U.S. on a trade deal is back in Washington ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, but gave his clearest indication yet that Canada might not land a deal in time.
