Commodities in general are  higher with metals, oil higher. USA jobs report indicated  more jobs than expected and a lower unemployment rate which has led to the US$ rising and US rates higher and equities higher. Positive earnings reactions: SHOP NET GNRC GFS and negative: HOOD LYFT MAT ALAB HUM THC MLM KHC. One can watch the earnings names for movement when market open. It is normal that indices rise on econ data being reported as IV falls and puts lose value.SPX upside resistance is 7000 so would take care if SPX continues. IWM is leading and ARK ETFS are higher so looks like a risk-on day premarket, will need to see if that continues. The MAGS names have 0DTE options today which can lead to sharper moves in the names. Currently NVDA is the lead pony but can change when the market opens.
