    • Comments USA market cap weighted indices higher led by QQQ while equal weighted RSP lower as premarket setup is long the barbell trade of long AI/Semi and energy. IV is elevated with FOMC rate decision and more importantly the forecast for future rate changes along with hyperscaler earnings. AI related names GEV, APH, VRT are higher on earnings and Koreans are squeezing the KOSPI with SKHY earnings report which is elevating MU and semis in general.  MAGS are a mixed bag with GOOGL leading ahead of earnings and announcing Genie 4.0, ORCL using GOOGL TPUs and Anthropic to spend $114B with GOOGL by 2030. MSFT slightly lower ahead of earnings has offered buyouts to 30k people which a cynic may read as trying to manage non-stellar earnings. Oil higher as chatter leaning to USA/Israel planning to attack Iran  but IMO forgetting the Iranians have a vote. SPX 7720 is the pivot and 7750 resistance and 7650 potential support but market can easily make larger moves by Thurs depending on FOMC but more importantly how MSFT and GOOGL earnings are received. Earnings names to watch today: HOOD GSK UL VRT these have moved more than the expected move.

    GOOGL

    GOOGL reports after the close. Price action has been very weak but option positioning is skewed to calls and IV elevated. Expected move +/-20 with upper expected move < call wall which can lead to greater than expected move and lower expected move at the put wall which is likely support. GOOGL will move the AI/Semi space with its forecast. Butterfly trades or calendar are strategies to consider.
