18:15 11/10 UTC — Bearish
Financial markets are experiencing heightened volatility led by a drawdown in tech and semiconductor stocks, particularly NVDA following chip probe reports. Macro concerns around persistent inflation and higher oil prices are weighing on benchmark indices like SPY and QQQ. Traders are closely watching key support levels on major tech leaders ahead of upcoming earnings reports.
Broader market indices are under pressure driven by tech-heavy selloffs and macro inflation concerns following a hot CPI print. Nvidia is leading the downside amidst headlines surrounding chip probes, Chinese export concerns, and executive scrutiny, which is weighing heavily on semiconductor sentiment. Meanwhile, elevated oil prices and potential capital rotation from equities to Treasury yields are compounding intraday risk aversion.
