US markets are staging an intraday recovery following yesterday's drop, assisted by lower-than-expected preliminary University of Michigan inflation expectations. Technology and semiconductor names like NVDA are supporting the bounce amid strong call activity, while ASTS trades actively following a major aerospace deal. Market participants remain cautious, monitoring key index resistance levels to see if momentum holds into the close.
US equities are attempting a sharp intraday rebound following a heavy selloff in the previous session, bolstered by lower-than-expected prelim University of Michigan 1-year inflation expectations (4.3% vs 4.6% forecast). Tech indices and semiconductor names are bouncing back, supported by bullish options flow in key mega-caps like NVDA. However, significant skepticism persists among market participants, with intense debate over whether the recovery represents a genuine bottom or a temporary bull trap.
