Holding A Partial Recovery Of Yesterday’s Late Rout

US STOCKS
  • The S&P e-mini sits in the middle of the day’s range at ~4772 (+0.5%), chipping away at yesterday’s late -1.5% slide attributed to a host of factors including profit taking in overbought conditions, 0DTE options and increasingly large sell programs.
  • It’s off yesterday’s low of 4743.23 but also notably below the high of 4830.75 which now sets initial resistance before 4854.75 (Fibo projection). Yesterday’s slide is deemed a corrective pullback from technical trends.
  • SPX gains are led by consumer discretionary (+1.0%, helped by Tesla +2.4%), health care (+0.8%) and materials (+0.7%), whilst utilities (-0.2%) and energy (-0.1%) lag in what’s been a volatile but weaker day for crude futures. A bear steepening in Treasuries through the session has done little to help banks, with the KBW index paring gains to +0.5%.
  • The Russell 2000 (+1.2%) outperforms after sliding 2% yesterday, followed by Nasdaq 100 (+0.65%) and the Dow (+0.4%). On the Russell 2000, Cboe is adding Tue and Thu 0DTE options, filling out the rest of week with its current offering of Mon, Wed and Fri.
