18:54 11/11 UTC — Bullish
US equity markets are up strongly led by a 3.0% gain in QQQ and a 1.6% rise in SPY, propelled by rallies in AMD (+10%) and CoreWeave (+27%). While regulatory headlines and short-seller commentary weigh on Nvidia sentiment, aggressive call buying and short covering continue to drive tech prices higher. Market participants remain focused on holding intraday gains ahead of upcoming jobless claims and Friday's PPI report.
