14:21 11/06 UTC — Mixed
Market sentiment remains mixed as traders weigh strong non-farm payroll additions against Friday options expiration pressure following yesterday's tech sell-off. While high-beta AI and power infrastructure names like MU and WULF draw dip-buyers, earnings reactions in consumer and media tickers keep broader indices range-bound.
Markets are showing mixed intraday direction following a prior session sell-off, despite macro support from stronger-than-expected payroll figures of 165,000 versus 65,000 expected. Dip-buying interest is emerging in select semiconductor and AI power infrastructure stocks such as Micron and TeraWulf. However, options expiration dynamics and mixed earnings sentiment in consumer and communications names continue to keep broad market upside contained.
