Summary

*we’re finding strong resistance around key price threshold of 5868.

This morning’s PPI was on the warmer side, and on reflection, its kinda surprising we’re opened higher. In any case… basic target is around 5900.


notable stock: META

META would no doubt prefer Tiktok was banned, rather than bought by Elon.

notable weakness: NVDA

The early gains of +2%… fully eroded to -1.1%, but that does NOT merit any hysteria.

notable Dow component: BA

Yet again… testing the 200dma.
A key stock to watch… even if you never trade it.

notable retail: SIG

Earnings were another reminder of the broken consumer…
EPS 24cents vs 33est. Rev’ y/y -3.1% to $1.35bn vs 1.37est. Weak guidance.

Time for lunch
