      Market Navigator: Fed’s Expected Hold to Provide Midweek Anchor

      Executive Summary For investors navigating cross-border exposures, the week ahead offers a welcome pivot from macro uncertainty to policy clarity. US markets have spent three weeks consolidating—not collapsing—amid energy volatility and inflation stickiness, with the Federal Reserve widely expected to hit pause on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s tech heavyweights step into the earnings spotlight, providing concrete data points on China’s AI investment cycle and consumer resilience. Last Week’s Recap: Orderly Consolidation, Not Panic US equities extended a gentle three-week pullback, with the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ , $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ , and $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ regist

      “This is the LARGEST oil supply disruption in history with no clear end in sight. > Brent crude oil has surged to $115. A 25% jump in a single day. On a Sunday night. > US stock futures have now erased over $2 trillion. > And there are ZERO signs of this slowing down. The last time the world saw an oil shock this severe was the 1970s. That crisis caused gas rationing and double-digit inflation.”

      Post-earnings NVDA Swings Wildly; Avoid Naked Directional Options

      $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ s earnings report exceeded expectations again, but its stock price fell sharply by over 5%.These past 2 days, Nvidia's earnings report has once again taught all options traders a lesson: earnings significantly exceeded expectations, causing a surge in after-hours trading, but the next day it plummeted 5.7%, wiping out nearly a trillion dollars in market capitalization overnight.This kind of "good news priced in, surge followed by a fall" pattern is a classic example of a double whammy in the options market—bulls get trapped, and puts may not even profit; once volatility recedes, both contracts plummet.Since August 2024, every earnings report seems to be followed by a period of decline.I've experienced this market pattern all too wel

      @TheBeautyofOptions：
      The explosive rally of $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ was primarily fueled by the blockbuster announcement of a strategic partnership with Meta Platforms.$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ will deploy up to 6 GW of AMD's AI compute chips, representing a potential multi-year order valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars.This massive deal solidifies AMD's position as a credible challenger to $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ in the AI accelerator market, overshadowing recent concerns about near-term guidance and operational expenses.Follow @TheBeauty_Options , who gains 15 Yrs Equities Journey, Learned Options at CBOE in 2012.I have a
