Options Spy | Institutions sell call options: Tesla shares will not rise above 282.5 this week
Technology stocks led the surge, the three major U.S. stock indexes on Monday (11) all closed higher. Apple's annual fall presentation is about to appear, Qualcomm announced that it has finalized a three-year deal with Apple to supply 5G chips for the iPhone until 2026, and the shares of both companies rose.
Sentiment was buoyed by a Wall Street Journal report that the Fed had reached a consensus not to raise rates at its meeting next week. According to CME FedWatch, traders are pricing in the Fed staying its hand in September, with about a 40 percent chance of a rate hike in November.
Investors are awaiting key U.S. inflation data in the coming week, with the latest consumer price index on Wednesday and the latest producer price index on Thursday. A slew of stronger-than-expected economic data last week renewed concerns that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates more than previously thought.
Goldman Sachs said the market had already priced in a soft landing ahead of the Fed meeting this month. The combination of good inflation data and signs of labor market weakness led economists at Goldman Sachs this week to cut their estimate of the likelihood of a U.S. recession in the next 12 months to 15 percent from 20 percent.
Morgan Stanley is bullish on Tesla's Dojo supercomputer prospects and raised its price target to $400 a share, sending the stock soaring more than 10 percent. However, large options orders show that institutions do not think that Tesla's stock price will rise above 282.5 this week, and they have sold call options:
