Upside momentum continues with S&P futures edging higher, looking to make it a 9th straight day of gains overall, and the Nasdaq Composite looking at an 11th straight day of advances, with no signs of caution by investors heading into key inflation data today and tomorrow. The producer price index (PPI) for October is expected at 8:30 AM, and the consumer price index (CPI) tomorrow, but still no concerns exhibited in the bond market with the 10-year yield at its lowest level in 2-weeks around 1.45%, while gold prices are steady at $1,829 an ounce. The S&P 500 closed at an all-time high for the eighth consecutive session last night, extending the longest winning streak since 1997, as investors added the impact of $1 trillion in fresh government stimulus. That coupled with removed travel lockdowns, a strong earnings season, and positive vaccine news has boosted stocks over the last month. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index fell -0.75% to 29.285, the Shanghai Index gained 0.24% to settle at 3,507 and the Hang Seng Index rose 0.2% to 24,813. In Europe, the German DAX is up 45 points to 16,090, while the FTSE 100 rise 0.2% to 7,313. Stocks keep pushing higher, making new all time highs each day the past week for the Dow, Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Russell 2000.

Tuesday, October 12, 2021 U.S. equity futures are looking mixed to slightly higher despite the cautious tone heading into the start of the third quarter earnings season with a focus on surging energy prices, faster inflation and their combined effect on growth prospects in the world’s biggest economies. Stock markets slumped in the final hour of the trading day Monday, with major averages finishing at the session lows as the Dow fell 0.72%, the S&P 500 was down 0.69%, and the Nasdaq moved down 0.64%. Overnight, Asian markets fell amid news that indebted China property giant Evergrande had missed a third coupon payment in as many weeks, reigniting concerns that its collapse could trigger contagion in regional bond markets. Bond markets reopen after being closed for the Columbus Day holiday, with the 10-year yield holding around the 1.6% level. Oil prices are trading near seven-year highs amid a global power crunch. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index dropped -267 points to 28.230, the Shanghai Index fell -45 points to 3,546, and the Hang Seng Index declined -362 points (1.43%) to 24,962. China Evergrande Group once again misses payment on the firm’s 9.5% note due 2022 and its 10% bond due 2023. Also adding to concerns, Shanghai-based developer Sinic Holdings Group said that it doesn’t expect to pay the principal or interest due Oct 18 for a $250 mln bond not helping Asian sentiment. In Europe, the German DAX is lower by about -40 points to 15,155, while the FTSE 100 slips -30 points to 7,115.

$TREX making moves

STO JD nov 67.5/65 for .98 and Z nov 100/95p for 1.85 bought LRLCY NTDOY TCEHY TREX and STEP starter

set market order for a SHOP trim and moving funds to STEP starter and TREX add

wasnt green myself but nice to have down a decent amount better (.5%-1.5% down) helped by some weird breadth (SNOW, SAM, GFL, QTRX, DRNA and TREX were my leaders) and some decay in the option writing

just shares > @bunnytoad69 said: @Benlax are you in any options trades for $TREX or just shares

@Benlax are you in any options trades for $TREX or just shares

My current market thesis: Tech could continue to be weak (don't expect anything big cause its already corrected a lot) over the next few months so my favorite is consumer discretionary: LVMUY NKE SMG LOW must owns. Also YETI is actually great if you got $. Other than that CARR and CVS good safety names (I actually think you could see CVS double over the next year or two), would definitely own some CARR. AXON nice nontech growth name off its highs. Also with housing so hot, realtors Z/RDFN/EXPI are great (i own RDFN and have EXPI calls). TREX also a great play for housing. Lastly, reallyyyy like SNE here Market is setting up to potentially get pretty crazy to the upside actually i think especially if yields stay under control value/growth rotation is largely over so you wont see as bifurcated markets and its gonna be more a stock pickers market. Big winners in both baskets

look at leaders today , etsy, ttd, twtr, sklz, axon, wix, ozon, trex, fb, ely, snap, shop, crwd theyre gonna lead us back up
