Hello!
A reminder of today’s early close, which means weekly options will be expiring at 1pm eastern. Futures are basically flat into the open, with some of the big-cap tech stocks down slightly in the pre-market. Nvidia is about $484 following through slightly on its earnings pullback. The move was inside what options were expecting. Options are now pricing about an 8% move in NVDA into year-end. (Chart below).
SPY/SPX is up about 0.8% on the holiday-shortened week, about inline with what options were pricing so far. 0DTE options are pricing less than 0.5% for today’s shortened session in both SPX/SPX and QQQ, but it is a weekly expiry so traders need to be aware of the narrow ranges up to 1pm. Also, be aware of any expiring single-name positions as they will need to be closed earlier than normal. Trading volumes are typically low on a shortened day but expiry can mean late moves that could take stocks above or below tight strikes.

Nvidia Corp (NVDA) -1.59%
Xpeng Inc ADR (XPEV) +5.17%
Irobot Corp (IRBT) +28.06%
