What's Going On With Rivian Automotive Stock?

Rivian Automotive, Inc. RIVN shares are trading higher Monday. The Biden administration on Monday proposed a ban on the import and sale of Chinese-made vehicles due to national security concerns.

What To Know:

Rivian shares are recovering from Friday's steep losses, possibly aided by the newly proposed ban on Chinese-made vehicles. The proposed ban comes on the heels of last week's steep tariffs on Chinese goods, including a 100% tax on EVs.  

Rivian could stand to benefit from the newly imposed tariffs and proposed ban of Chinese auto-tech. Both initiatives will limit, if not completely eliminate, cheaper Chinese EVs from the U.S. market, and significantly reduce pressures on Rivian from such competition.
