    • Comments USA indices are divergent with RSP and DIA and QQQ lagging ahead of the USA CPI report which will be market moving.  Semis/AI weaker despite ASML earnings which were positive with demand > supply.  Financial continue to report with BLK higher and BAC lower with a fine not helping. WTI higher and at 95 potentially becoming extended despite a lack of positive developments in the middle east.  Implied vol is elevated ahead of the CPI print and in theory a hot print is positive for yields and the US$ and negative for the bond proxies like staples but given the oil uncertainty it may be less relevant than normal. MAGS are led by GOOGL which was upgraded with AAPL MSFT AMZN all higher.  It’s common for weakness in a large sector like NVDA/semi to be compensated by other large market cap names. SPX is well supported by 0DTE with large positions at 7870 and 7800 setting expected range. Tues saw reversion of earnings names so worth watching (e.g. BAC BLK).

    GOOGL

    GOOGL is the leading MAGS today ahead of CPI with the release of Gemini 4 Argon model. Option positioning indicates potential squeeze potential above 157.5 to 187.5 with major positions at 370/375. Potential for a run into earnings, especially if MAGS get favored as “safe” names. One can consider call spreads for a run into Oct 28 earnings
