Equity: Global indices are mixed with USA higher and Europe lower. USA indices are led by IWM and along with speculative ARK sectors indicates premarket is set-up risk-off with caveat that post Opex can lead to weakness. MAG7 are led by TSLA and GOOGL ahead of earnings this week but all but MSFT are higher premarket. XYZ is being added to the S&P500 and +9% premarket, look for continuation or pullback. US$ and US yields are lower premarket which is a positive catalyst for gold, silver, copper, small caps, bitcoin and speculative stocks. Crypto names are strong as the frenzy continues in ETHE SBIT GLXY and bitcoin higher. The spec tech ETFS are led by ARKG, ARKK with ARKK lagging as drones and space lower premarket after big moves last week. SPY and QQQ are above 10d volume profile value region, hence extended. SPX 0DTE has positions at 6320 which can act as resistance or acceleration above and 6295 which can act as support or below target 6250. Post opex the SPX is in a window of weakness and with the expiration being call heavy, there is pullback susceptibility. No major USA economic data today so lacking a known catalyst for a move. Tariff tweets and Japanese currency/yield post election moves are potentials aside from the upcoming Mag7 earnings prints.
