The slow grind higher


Good morning!

Options AI mobile is now available in the Apple app store! Go find it here.

Stocks opened higher this morning, potentially capping off a great week for stocks. With this morning’s action, SPY is up nearly 3% on the week. With QQQ up nearly 5%. The week started with a cooler-than-expected CPI, had a bit of a news shock with a slightly more hawkish Fed, but quickly shook that off and headed higher into the three-day weekend. In fact, the shakeout post-Fed may have helped the rally as it likely put some traders offsides needing to then chase higher.

IV remains low, with the VIX 14.30, and SPY at the money vol on Monday just 9, the first time we’ve seen single digits in some time (that is also a reflection of traders not wanting to get plugged with long option premium for the long weekend). SPY vol for the rest of the week is 10-11 and just 12 a few weeks out.
