Summary:  Nvidia-Day - Why we need to care


Good Morning,

I would not dare to state where Nvidia will be trading at the end of the week, it certainly reached our prediction yesterday which was volatility!

The Stock fell as much as 6% yesterday and pulled not only the tech sector but S&P as well as the Nasdaq lower. This week’s options are trading at an implied volatility of more than 160% and the December ATM are near 50% - suggesting massive moves to come.

In the close, the stock ended down 4.35% and the S&P lost 0.6%, the Dow 0.17% and the Nasdaq 0.92%.

 Besides Tech, Walmart surprised traders with a strong outlook, boosted the dividend and reached an all-time high. Kim took a look at the SMI and sees potential, pls see the link below.

US Yields fell below the 4.30 again yesterday and pulled the USD Index to near 104, EURUSD rose to 1.0809, GBPUSD 1.2630, USDJPY 150 and Gold and Silver are stronger at 2030 and 23.16, Bitcoin is trading below the 52kl.

Today, all focus will be on the Nvidia earnings after the bell, at 20:00 CET,  the Fed minutes will be released and could have an impact if there is any surprise but overall the expected value change of Nvidia will grab all attention. Based on the current implied volatility we are looking at a possible value change of USD 200 bio – which explains the nervousness in the markets.
