Why is Lucid stock rallying today?

The vehicles will use Lucid's Midsize platform and Nvidia's Hyperion architecture. Lucid's CEO highlighted the opportunity to monetize its technology beyond consumer vehicles. The S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq also gained, but the Fed's rate hike has introduced caution for high-growth stocks.
