    • Events: USA airstrike in Nigeria
    •  Stock News: NVDA acquired TPC private company to compete with GOOGL
      Equity: Global indices flattish premarket on what should be a low liquidity day. S&P sectors are generally positive with XLP, XLC, XLF leading XLK so a value tilt. DIA leading and IWM lagging reinforces that notion.  Metals continue to be leaders with Silver continuing to be parabolic and lithium names joining in. It’s the US$ debasement trade which is getting technically stretched.  The memory names are bid premarket with MU, SNDK higher and a popular flavor of the AI trade. NVDA is the name to watch today after buying startup GROQ, which is a TPU company and a move to counter the TPU offerings of GOOGL/AVGO and protect marketshare, albeit at a lower price.  SPX 6940-6900 is a potential chop zone with call positioning 6950/6960 potential resistance or acceleration levels which can ultimately lift SPX to 7000 at year end (JPM short strike is 7000).  MAGS are mixed but aside from NVDA, AAPL is a name to watch as it trades well when value is outperforming growth and Tim Cook may have more shares to buy before year end to get a larger bonus and pay for the NKE shares he just bought:)

      Daily Expected Move. SPX(6976-6888)  SPY(695-686) QQQ(629-618)  IWM(255-250)

    AAPL

    AAPL is a potential candidate for a run into EOY with target the call wall 280. Caveat is the gap below with support at 270. Can consider long > 275 or pullback > 272.5. IV percentile is 4% so options are relatively cheap if one is looking for a trade in either direction into Jan
