Lucid Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) and Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) inspired GraniteShares to launch two new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">exchange-traded funds</a>.
What Happened: In the latest fuel for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/electric-vehicle">EV-thematic investors</a>, GraniteShares unveiled two <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">single-stock ETFs</a>. They&#8217;re designed to return 2x the day&#8217;s return of their respective underlying stocks.
This means when Lucid has a decent hair day in the market, the GraniteShares 2x Long LCID Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCDL#NASDAQ">LCDL</a>) attempts to double down on it. 
Similarly, when Rivian gets revs up, the GraniteShares 2x Long RIVN Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RVNL#NASDAQ">RVNL</a>) seeks to floor it.
But, as a word of caution, these ETFs are <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/04/22/3065412/0/en/GraniteShares-2x-Long-LCID-Daily-ETF-LCDL-and-GraniteShares-2x-Long-RIVN-Daily-ETF-RVNL-Launch-Today.html">designed </a>for tactical traders, not long-haul investors, as the funds reset daily.

Why It Matters: Lucid, with its luxury sedans and in-house battery technology, cut a niche in the premium EV market. Its cars are designed and built in California and feature fresh styling and serious range.
Rivian, on the other hand, is more rugged with its R1T pickup and R1S SUV, not to mention its high-profile Electric Delivery Van (EDV) fleet. The company is also made and based in the U.S., targeting consumers and commercial customers who want environmentally friendly transport.
Both stocks have recently experienced a rough ride, making them good targets for traders wagering on short-term rebounds—or reversals.
Other ETFs To Watch: It&#8217;s worth noting that GraniteShares&#8217; LCDL and RVNL ETFs are not for Sunday drivers. They are designed for pit-stop traders who have an iron stomach and are watching the daily ticker.
For investors who want to tap into the wider EV universe with less volatility than single-stock plays, keep an eye on the following:
<ul>
<li>Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>), which provides diversified exposure to both EV producers and top suppliers in AI and battery technology. It&#8217;s been a consistent performer during macro headwinds. Looking at the rear view mirror, the ETF has dipped 12.8% in the past year. However, a longer look down the road shows that it has gained 61.62% in the past five years. The expense ratio it carries is 0.68%.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>iShares Self-Driving EV and Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDRV#NYSE">IDRV</a>), which offers international exposure to leaders in autonomous and electric vehicle innovation. Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), BYD (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYD#NYSE">BYD</a>), and Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) are some of its best holdings. The past year price performance is discouraging at a loss of 4.53%. However, the fund has gained more than 20% in the past five years. The expense ratio of the fund is 0.47%.</li>

UBS Maintains Buy on Blackstone, Lowers Price Target to $175

A powerful rally in gold miners is turning heads on Wall Street, with the industry, as broadly tracked by the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>), up 50% year-to-date through April 22, outperforming nearly every other asset <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">class around the world. </a>
Fueled by gold prices soaring above $3,300 per ounce and robust investor demand, the industry enters first-quarter earnings season with high expectations and bullish momentum.
This week, Newmont Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>) will kick off first-quarter 2025 reporting, with analysts anticipating a wave of strong cash flow, operational updates and capital allocation plans.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Driving The Gold Boom?</h3>
According to VanEck portfolio manager Imaru Casanova, a &#8220;perfect storm&#8221; is lifting gold: sticky inflation, rising global debt, escalating geopolitical tensions and growing recession fears.
"Gold thrives amid uncertainty," she said during a VanEck-hosted webinar Tuesday, highlighting the sector&#8217;s leverage to bullion. Gold equities, she added, have delivered "significantly amplified returns" compared to the metal itself.
Casanova noted that gold equities have sharply outperformed bullion, highlighting that the leverage embedded in mining companies gives investors an amplified return profile when gold rises.
With miners' all-in sustaining costs around $1,400 to $1,500 per ounce, today's gold prices north of $3,300 are delivering record margins.
"If we're at $3,000 gold and the costs are $1,500, that's a $1,500 margin per ounce," Casanova said. "That's where the cash flow is."
She also highlighted the rising interest in capital return strategies, such as share buybacks and dividends. "The companies are in great shape. That makes us even more bullish—not just because of the gold price, but because of company fundamentals."
Gold prices are up 42% over the past year and 18% over the past quarter, averaging $2,862 per ounce in the first quarter of 2025. In April, gold has surged another 8.9%, now trading above $3,400.
Monthly gold ETF demand hit a three-year high in April, signaling a potential resurgence of institutional and retail interest.
The VanEck team outlined several structural supports behind the gold rally, including strong demand from central banks, tariff risk and policy uncertainty.
With gold in "uncharted territory," Casanova said, "we could enter a much higher range" that supports even more robust margins and cash flows for miners. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bullish Q1 Expectations From Wall Street</h3>
Bank of America raised target multiples and price objectives across its North American precious metals coverage this week in response to gold's strength. Analyst Lawson Winder now sees:
<ul>
<li>Newmont at $70 (from $60)</li>
<li>Agnico Eagle Mines at $159 (from $142)</li>
<li>Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>) at $23 (from $19.50)</li>
<li>Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KGC#NYSE">KGC</a>) at $17.50 (from $15.00)</li>
</ul>
BofA expects free cash flow across its coverage to total $2.2 billion for the first quarter and $16.2 billion for the full year 2025, assuming gold averages $3,063 per ounce.
With all-in sustaining costs estimated around $1,500 per ounce, the sector is capturing historically wide margins.

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Javon Marks <a href="https://x.com/JavonTM1/status/1914683589402251326">says</a> XRP could still deliver a 50x return, pointing to a potential $111 target, based on prior-cycle behavior.
Trader Scient <a href="https://x.com/Crypto_Scient/status/1914645571278909812">notes</a> that XRP is flipping its monthly 50-day moving average for the first time in six years, a technical milestone that he says marks XRP as &#8220;probably the safest play&#8221; in crypto right now.
Veteran trader DonAlt echoed the bullish stance, labeling XRP one of the most compelling altcoin setups at current levels. It&#8217;s trading at range lows after sweeping prior support, a classic setup for a sharp reversal if broader market momentum continues.

The death of Pope Francis at the age of 88 has brought attention to the Catholic Church and the selection of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44892537/pope-francis-first-south-american-pontiff-and-peoples-pope-dies-at-88">selecting a new pope.</a>
Here's how prediction markets and a 2024 movie could profit from the pope's death.
Pope's Funeral Set: A funeral for Pope Francis, the global leader of the Catholic Church since 2013, will be held on Saturday, April 26, at 10 a.m. CET (4 a.m. ET). Many world leaders are likely to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44916290/pope-francis-the-peoples-pope-dies-at-88-tributes-pour-in-from-trump-king-charles-tim-cook-joe-biden-jimmy-fallon-and-more">attend the event.</a>
Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2025/global/news/pope-francis-funeral-saturday-media-outlets-rome-1236374663/">reports</a> that the funeral will be held outdoors in front of St. Peter's Basilica. It is expected to draw a large audience of world leaders. In the days ahead, Catholics will also pay tribute to the pope before he is laid to rest.
Among the media companies expected to cover the funeral are Warner Bros Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) unit CNN, Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) owned channel CBS and NBC, which is owned by Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>). 
According to the report, the media companies have rented terrace space overlooking St. Peter's Square for the funeral.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are expected to attend.
The Vatican released images of Pope Francis since his death on Tuesday, showing the former leader in his wooden casket. The casket will be taken to St. Peter's Basilica on Wednesday, where people can begin paying their respects for three days.
The last pope funeral was that of Pope Benedict XVI in 2022. Benedict had already stepped down from his role of pope in 2013. Hundreds of thousands of mourners paid tribute to Benedict in person ahead of his funeral.
In 2005, millions of mourners traveled to Rome to pay respects to Pope John Paul II, who was pope at the time of his death.
The funeral comes as the Catholic Church celebrates Holy Year. The event occurs every 25 years, and millions of Catholics travel to Vatican City as part of a pilgrimage.

Conclave to Follow: After the Pope's funeral, the selection process to pick the next leader known as conclave will take place two to three weeks later. The process will see 135 cardinals from different countries gather to select the next pope in the secretive process.
Following details of the pope's funeral, the conclave will likely begin between May 5 and May 10.
The selection process of a new pope could benefit prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi. 
Polymarket listed odds for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/04/44913342/betting-odds-for-pope-francis-replacement-show-two-favorites-plus-this-global-event-has-mlb-bettors-backing-nick-castellanos-to-hit-home-runs">next pope yesterday</a>. It offers several betting markets, including the names, the continent from which the next pope comes, the date he will be selected, and more. 
Here are the <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/who-will-be-the-next-pope">current </a>betting odds for the next pope, with the odds from yesterday in parentheses.
<ul>
<li>Pietro Parolin: 31% (36%)</li>
<li>Luis Antonio Tagle: 23% (26%)</li>
<li>Matteo Zuppi: 11% (5%)</li>
<li>Peter Turkson: 9% (7%)</li>
<li>Peter Erdo: 9% (8%)</li>
</ul>
On Kalshi, the markets look similar with Parolin the favorite at 33% followed by Tagle at 22%. Polymarket&#8217;s ranking differs in that it has Erdo fifth, while Kalshi has Pierbattista Pizzaballa fifth.

Streaming platform Prime Video from Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) could also benefit from the pope selection process. As of Tuesday, the platform is the home of "Conclave," a 2024 film from Focus Features.
After spending months on the Peacock streaming platform, which like Focus Features is owned by Comcast, the film is now streaming on Prime Video. It&#8217;s an opportunistic time for Prime Video, considering &#8220;Conclave&#8221; received <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/03/44067420/2025-academy-awards-how-to-watch-betting-odds-will-a-film-about-donald-trump-win-any-awards">eight Academy Award </a>nominations, including Best Picture.
While "Conclave" didn't take home the top honors at the ceremony, it will likely garner increased interest in the coming weeks.

How And When To Watch Pope Francis' Funeral – Why 'Conclave' Might Become A Streaming Hit

Ahead of Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) first-quarter earnings on Tuesday, a well-known analyst is drawing a hard line in the sand that CEO Elon Musk<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44891383/elon-musk-needs-to-leave-the-government-and-get-back-to-being-ceo-of-tesla-says-dan-ives-ahead-of-q1-earnings"> should take a step back</a> from the White House and commit fully to the electric vehicle company.
What Happened: Wedbush analyst Dan Ives may be known as one of the biggest bulls when it comes to analysts covering Tesla stock. Like other analysts, Ives has lowered his price target on Tesla stock ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44925313/tesla-q1-earnings-preview-shareholders-analysts-want-answers-on-guidance-tariffs-fsd-and-more">Tuesday's earnings report.</a>
Ives maintained an Outperform rating while lowering the price target from $550 to $315 recently.
One of the items keeping Ives less bullish than normal is CEO Musk being less present at the electric vehicle company and more involved with the Donald Trump White House administration.
"Musk needs to leave the govt, take a step back on DOGE, and get back to being CEO of Tesla full-time in our view," Ives recently tweeted.
The analyst said Tesla is at a crossroads and this could be a "code red situation" as first-quarter earnings are important and represent a look at the future of the company.
Ives outlined six major concerns about Tesla amid Musk's new White House role at the Department of Government Efficiency, as shared by <a href="https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-sits-crossroads-wedbush-says-by-listing-six-negatives">Teslarati</a>.
<ol>
<li>Tesla has now unfortunately become a political symbol globally of the Trump administration/DOGE</li>
<li>Tesla's stock has been crushed since Trump stepped back into the White House</li>
<li>Brand damage to Musk/Tesla resulted in a terrible 1Q delivery number, with much lower 2025 deliveries on the horizon</li>
<li>Protests and violence against Tesla dealerships/owners have erupted around the globe</li>
<li>25% auto tariffs have been enacted, delaying future lower-cost models for Tesla, even though Musk is vocally against the tariffs for obvious reasons</li>
<li>Potentially 15%-20% permanent demand destruction for future Tesla buyers due to the brand damage Musk has created with DOGE</li>
</ol>
The analyst said Musk and Tesla have now become synonymous with the Trump administration.

Why It's Important: The comments from Ives come as Tesla shareholders seek answers on tariffs, new vehicle models, and FSD, along with commentary on Musk's role within the company.
Despite the criticism of Musk's White House role, Ives remains bullish on the electric vehicle company.
"We believe Tesla along with Nvidia are two of the most disruptive technology companies on the globe over the coming years. The unparalleled innovation, engineering scale, autonomous roadmap, and robotics future will unleash massive valuation upside over the coming years in our view," Ives said.
The analyst said the timing and rollout plans for unsupervised Full Self-Driving and the details of more affordable vehicles need to be laid out by Musk.
Ives said after speaking to car buyers around the globe, the brand damage to Tesla is real.
"Tesla is Musk and Musk is Tesla."
An announcement by Musk about his time coming to an end or being minimized with DOGE could go a long way to restoring confidence in the future of Tesla and the share price on Tuesday.
"Tesla will have its most important asset and strategic thinker back as full-time CEO to drive the vision and the long-term story will not be altered," Ives said, as reported by <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-tesla-earnings-doge-2062458">Newsweek</a>. "If Musk chooses to stay with the Trump White House, it could change the future of Tesla."
Ives <a href="https://x.com/DivesTech/status/1914681933952319831">tweeted </a>on Tuesday that the first-quarter earnings and conference call could be one of the biggest in company history.
 TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock is up 4.3% to $237.31 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $141.11 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 37.3% year-to-date in 2025.

YieldMax is&nbsp;putting&nbsp;a&nbsp;new&nbsp;spin&nbsp;on&nbsp;real&nbsp;estate&nbsp;investing, and a&nbsp;jolt&nbsp;of adrenaline, with the&nbsp;introduction&nbsp;of its new fund, the YieldMax Target 12 Real Estate Option Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RNTY#NYSE">RNTY</a>).&nbsp;Created&nbsp;to&nbsp;produce&nbsp;an&nbsp;annual&nbsp;target&nbsp;income of 12%, this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">actively managed ETF</a>&nbsp;pairs&nbsp;conventional&nbsp;real estate exposure with&nbsp;an&nbsp;aggressive&nbsp;options overlay strategy. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Real Estate ETF That Doesn&#8217;t Just Sit There</h1>
This ETF differentiates itself by writing options contracts on some (or all) of the 15 to 30 U.S.-listed real estate firms it owns, making stock ownership a monthly paycheck machine. Its holdings include such household names as Texas Pacific Land Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPL#NYSE">TPL</a>), Digital Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLR#NYSE">DLR</a>), and Prologis Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLD#NYSE">PLD</a>) — solid footing for an ETF attempting to construct an income fortress.

The fund also aims for capital growth, so although income is the main event, possible profit from price rises isn&#8217;t ruled out.
To maintain things smoothly in motion, the ETF will carry at most 10% in cash, money market funds or short-term Treasuries, used as collateral or a liquidity cushion. The options strategy, on the other hand, is managed actively based on stock liquidity, price levels, implied volatility and general market conditions.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why RNTY? Why Now?</h1>
With interest rates continuing to wobble and REITs adjusting to a post-pandemic reality, income investors are looking for yield without gambling the house. This ETF provides a structured, options-fueled approach to accessing real estate returns — complete with a stream of income that isn&#8217;t directly correlated to market action.
