Nio Inc – ADR NIO: Shares of this electric vehicle company fell Thursday after Chinese EV peer XPeng Inc reported first-quarter financial results lower than expected. Analyst downgrades for XPeng put pressure on Nio.
ProShares Ultra Pro Short QQQ ETF SQQ: The ProShares Ultra Pro Short QQQ ETF is a leveraged inverse ETF of the Nasdaq 100. It saw strong interest over the week, likely as investors looked to hedge their investments or bet against the continued growth of top technology stocks in the Nasdaq 100.
