Equity: USA indices are flattish ahead of
non-farm payroll report with volatility elevated. SPX range of stability
6900-7000 with main risk a break below 6900. MAGS led by NVDA with semis
in general in favor with positive reaction to GFS and TSEM earnings reports.
Memory names are being bought again premarket with MU SNDK, WDC higher.
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.

CSCO
CSCO is a large data networking equipment company which has been lifting as market pivoted to DJIA style names and CSCO and others like CIEN and ANET benefiting from data center networking needs. Earnings after the close with expected move +/-5. Good candidate for calendar or butterfly trades with IV 93% this week. CSCO has made a large move on no news so risk if guidance is not better than expected.
