Events: FOMC minutes 2ET
Equity: USA indices higher premarket with expiration of Vix options at the open potentially providing a boost. FOMC minutes at 14ET may be market moving but big event is NVDA earnings after the close. Index IV is elevated into the NVDA print which is important for the key AI narrative. MAGS are led by NVDA, GOOGL, TSLA. Metals higher with gold, silver and copper and upgrades to FCX, ALB. AI names small bounces [IREN PLTR NBIS CRWV] which ahead of NVDA may be short covering IMO but alternate thesis is bull trades for a positive NVDA print. A positive NVDA can result in a reduction in IV and given the negative setup in SPX and outsized weighting, a large equity rally is possible. Alternate is a negative NVDA reaction could lead to a Vix pop and an outsized move lower in SPX. Should markets bounce, IV will decrease so if trading options could consider spreads or flys. Looking at Dec 1 upside SPX upside target 7000 or downside target 6500-6350, will be an interesting week.

NVDA
NVDA reports earnings after the close. Expected move is +/- 13.5 with IV this week 2.5x average. Upside calls at 200 are potential resistance and puts diminish under 170. Traders are only slightly bullish. Flys are a cheap way to trade NVDA which will move indices and AI related names. It is expected that NVDA will beat and Jensen is usually optimistic so the key will be whether the market buys what Jensen is selling.
