Narratives
LCIDLucid Motors
BullishLucid announced a non-binding 5-year supply agreement with Graphite One for 5,000 tons of graphite, which the speaker interprets as preparation for the midsize SUV production ramp (not near-term, as Graphite One hasn't built its facility yet). GDP came in at 2.8% vs 2.0% forecast - very strong. The speaker notes the market is back to reacting to good data as good (not the previous inverse dynamic), which is constructive. Rate cut probability rose to 20.3% for 50bps in September.
Key Arguments

- Market returning to normal - good data is being perceived as good again
- Rate cut probability rising: 20.3% chance of 50bps September cut
