Markets are trading with high intraday choppiness following preliminary University of Michigan data showing weaker consumer sentiment and elevated inflation expectations. Mega-cap indices are locked in option pinning battles, while single-stock space and tech tickers experience sharp, high-volume divergent swings.
Macro sentiment remains constrained following soft University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment figures (46.3 vs 47.6 expected) alongside sticky inflation metrics.
