Stock News SE+4.9% RKLB-7% ESLT-6% EPS
Comments USA indices rising in NY premarket as WTIC
fell from a peak of 84.7 after rising premarket with no obvious resolution to
SoH. QQQ is leading as monkeys jump back into NVDA and MU and semi sector. INTC
outlier semi lower with an increase in share offering. Neoclouds and AI
hardware providers are trading higher before SMCI earnings release AMC. NVDA
consortium to raise $500B for datacenters Mon means circular financing is alive
and well and can boost AI suppliers and neoclouds since there is obviously no
limit to debt. SE (higher) RIOT (higher) , RKLB (lower) are post earnings
names to watch. LITE AMC will be interesting read on the AI optical meme. 10Y
yield > 4.7% and WTIC >80 usually provokes a response from WH but I
havent seen a tweet so would watch oil when the market opens as equity is
following oil. SPX 7750 is the largest 0DTE level which can at as a pivot with
7800 and 7000 potential range. CPI Wed BMO is the big event for the week so may
see some moves into the close front running.

RIOT
RIOT is a post earnings idea with an outsized move and retracing premarket. Signed a deal with Anthropic but missed on earnings. Large call positions at 21.5 and 20 which potentially can lead to a bounce. 21.5 is a high volume level which can act as support. CLSK, NBIS are sympathy names.
