   Comments Global indices bounce with USA AI/Semi rebound after Thurs dip.  FT report suggesting OpenAI revenue lower than expectations led to broad selling of the AI/Semi echo system. Premarket rebounding as shorts cover or BTD continues. SPCX bought 800MHz spectrum to enter terrestrial cellular comms and SPCX is reacting positively but VZ T TMUS are lower.  The tower REITS like AMT will benefit if SPCX needs towers. The move lower in the telecoms is likely overdone as SPCX will need years and $B of spend and will be difficult to enter the urban centers. AAPL is lower on chatter that has cut supply orders for iPhone 18 by 15%. No official AAPL statement but will impact AAPL suppliers if true.  MAGS are led by NVDA and TSLA with TSLA typically trading in sympathy with SPCX.  HUM large bounce on Medicare bonus payments, one to watch. DAL lower on earnings with high fuel costs shockingly an issue, watch the airlines. SPX 0DTE looks well supported 7800 upper pivot 7770 lower pivot. Bank earnings next week, may see some positioning in advance
