  Comments Global indices lower as oil higher as middle east and Ukrainian wars escalate pressuring diesel fuel higher and trade war with Canada adds spice to economic uncertainty.  Tues the S&P was supported by outsized moves by the semi/AI names which are pulling back premarket with a scarcity of replacement names. META is the MAGS leader with release of MUSE agent which has paid and unpaid versions. Potentially the monkeys may worry that lower cost agents is a risk for companies borrowing billions for massive future revenue.  MAGS  are lead to downside by GOOGL and AMZN potentially due to META competition and consumers under pressure.  MSFT is flat and may be a rotation names and AAPL slightly lower ahead of it’s event today where it will unveil a folding phone to compete with Samsung and Huawei and stock price will provide a rating.  USA treasury doubling of its bond buying starts today as they attempt to bring down bond yields. Stay tuned for how the bond market and stock market reacts. SPX 0DTE positive gamma above and below price indicates well supported and skew indicates traders are leaning into tech, bitcoin, metals calls and utes, staples, reit puts. SPX 7650 is the line in the sand today.  As long as traders are selling puts below price, S&P is immune to war and yields and right now 7500 is the trapdoor unless put buyers step up. Until then with correlation low, the monkeys can hop from one stock to the next.

META

META is the star of the day with the monkeys piling in following the announcement of MUSE agent which has free and paid versions. META has long calls at 650 which can act as a squeeze level with long calls up to 750.  Positioning is leaning to calls so if think that META is now the new shiny object for the monkeys, call verticals can take advantage of the call skew and reduce the risk as Zuck and META have a habit of stepping into trouble. Don’t know how MUSA impacts GOOGL Gemini or Anthropic but GOOGL is trading lower so market maybe concerned or its just another example of a low correlation, zero sum game market.
