Summary

Little to add… for what is holiday chop.

–
notable stock: TSLA

Very powerful gains for Tesla… largely on the delivery data, although lets be clear… y/y deliveries were -5%. Not great. Resistance 250/260, then 280.
–

notable weakness: LLY

Biden has called for lower prices for weight loss drugs.
—

notable strength: SMCI

Whilst Nvidia is -2%, there are some select buyers out there.
—

notable stock: NKE

Underlying weakness. I’d be mindful it will be inclined for some weeks of chop, or even a bounce to 80/85, before resuming to grander target/support $62s.
