News: USA: ADPjobs 77k vs 141k; ISM Service 10ET
EUR: Discussing increasing spending China: Plenary underway
Stocks: CRWD-6.8%, CPB-6.3%, ANF-9%, BOX-5%, FL+1% EPS
Overview: SPY 577.1 Expected move 7.1 Resistance 580 584 585
Support 575 574 570; QQQ 496.8 Expected move 8 Resistance 499.8
503.5 Support 494.8 490. USA indices are mildly higher after ADP
jobs report which was weaker than expected and adds to the narrative of USA
slowing. ISM Service report 10ET may be very significant for indices today.
Foreign markets are strong with Europe discussing more spending and China
Plenary Meeting discussing greater growth. US$ lower as market is pricing in
more rate cuts due to slowing economy coupled with potentially China growth is
positive for most commodities ex-oil which is lower due to OPEC not
cutting. MAG7 are are all positive premarket led by the always volatile
NVDA and the oversold AMZN. Bitcoin bouncing is lifting all of the usual
suspects like MSTR, COIN, MARA. Earnings reports generally weak with CRWD in
the security space. CPB in staples and ANF in retail all lower. Tariff story
remains confused with Lutnnick suggesting that today there may be some relief
to Mexico and Canada. Remains to be seen but another tapebomb may be lurking at
some random time today. USA indices are negative gamma which means large intraday.
moves are to be expected. The large SPX Iron Condor seller has strikes at
5840 and 5705 which are potential targets for the hedgefunds to target today.
SPY 495 is a level to watch as below can lead to 490 put wall and above can
bounce to 500. Or ignore USA market and follow the strength in Europe and China
or the metals.
