Good morning!
The market was essentially unchanged last week, with the SPY down 0.25%, well inside what options were pricing. Futures are implying a green open, but only by about 0.25%. So we begin this week in very similar fashion to last week’s action. The VIX sits at about 17.50. SPY option IV for this week is lower than that, about 15. That implies a 1.1% move. A couple of things going on on the economic calendar. The first is Fed Speeches galore, lasting all week.14 Federal Reserve governors and presidents will deliver speeches this week, with Fed chair Powell on Friday. The other important part of the calendar is retail sales, on Tuesday. On the earnings front, we hear from Home Depot Tuesday morning, Target ad Cisco Wednesday, Alibaba, Walmart and Applied Materials on Friday.
