      Comments Global indices bounce premarket with European open. Catalyst, another report that USA is placing an offer to open the SoH. Reaction is the usual oil lower, yields lower and speculative and AI/semi stocks higher. Koreans were buyers overnight lifting memory and hence NVDA which is a leader along with META. DKS is the dog of the day, lower post earnings which is also weighing on NKE. BNS and BMO reported and BNS higher and should help lift the TSX and other Canadian banks, which have weakened with tariff uncertainty.  Software is lower while semis are higher so the dispersion within tech continues so not broadbased tech buying, more of a rotation or rearrangement of the deck chairs. Watch whether the semi/AI names can continue to run past 1030 today.  The oil move has led to metal lower and bonds higher and so far seems like another unverified, news bite which appears when yields and oil get uncomfortably high. SPX 0DTE positioning indicates positive gamma above and below price with 7665 line in the sand and upside targets 7700 7750. Bond auction at 13ET may be market moving with the focus on yields.

    NVDA

    NVDA reports after the close Wed. Premarket the semi/AI names are higher after pulling back last few days. Positioning is bullish with calls at 210 defining a line in the sand with upside target 215. Historically NVDA has lifted before the report and then fallen after reporting a beat so a potential long idea
