Two massive catalysts are driving this surge: A Huge Insider Buy: CEO Jeff Green recently purchased about 6.4 million shares, a massive $148 million bet on his own company, showing extreme confidence in $Trade Desk Inc.(TTD)$ 's future. The OpenAI Alliance: $Trade Desk Inc.(TTD)$ is in early talks to automate OpenAI's ad sales. This move could make $Trade Desk Inc.(TTD)$ a major AI ad channel, rivaling giants like $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ and $Alphabet(GOOG)$.
$DBS(D05.SI)$ : The Dividend Powerhouse The dip was triggered by Q4 provisions and tax costs—a classic case of the market punishing anything that isn't a "perfect beat." However, with a 38% surge in dividends, DBS remains the strongest "cash cow" of the three.
SIA loses 1% after yesterday's new high. Despite the glittering revenue, SIA is not without its challenges. When compared to Asia-Pacific peers, market consensus remains divided. Associates "Dragging the Chain" This quarter, SIA recognized S$178 million in losses from associated companies, largely driven by Air India. The integration pains of the Indian market are lasting longer than expected, becoming a primary "black hole" for net earnings.
On the daily chart, Bitcoin has not produced a sustained sequence of bullish candles for nearly half a month, indicating that previous rebounds lacked follow-through. The key level now sits around $74,500. If Bitcoin closes today with a strong bullish candle and holds above $74,500, it could form a breakout continuation pattern, signaling that bulls are firmly back in control. However, if price quickly turns bearish, traders should be cautious of a potential bull trap at higher levels.
The past week was the absolute peak of geopolitical chaos, sending the $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ skyrocketing past 25💥. The $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ shed over 1,000 points in a single session, triggering massive intraday swings.
U.S. stocks finished nearly unchanged on Monday after a turbulent session marked by early declines following weekend U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, though dip-buying throughout the day helped stabilize the market. The options market saw heavy activity with 59.4 million contracts traded, 55% of which were calls. Tech giants dominated volume, with Nvidia, Tesla, Netflix, Palantir, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, AMD, Ondas, and Meta ranking as the top 10 most-active names. Palantir stood out with an 8.1% surge on 810,580 option contracts—62% bullish calls—including a 246% gain on $145 strike calls expiring Friday, as investors rewarded its expanding government cloud contracts and recurring-revenue model.
In a “negative gamma” environment, this deviation means market makers cannot provide liquidity support — instead, they become accelerants to the decline. They must continuously sell positions to hedge their exposure to put options. The put/call ratio has reached 1.95. This mechanism acts like an amplifier, intensifying downside moves. That’s why once the key level breaks, the VIX can quickly surge toward 30. Unless the index reclaims 6,800, this self-reinforcing downside pressure will continue to hang over the market.

As of early March 2026, Mag 7 have faced a collective pullback, fueled by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and growing skepticism over the AI capex. However, this volatility has created a historic technical setup: $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Microsoft(MSFT)$ have once again plunged into their most "undervalued" territory in five years.
