Options Spy | PINS plunged, and institutions sold a lot of put options to copy the bottom

As the earnings season continued and US inflation data was revised, the S&P closed above the 5,000 level for the first time, another record high. The Nasdaq index broke through the 16,000 point mark during the session and peaked at 16,007.29 points, just a step away from the all-time high in November 2021. All three major averages rose for the fifth straight week and the 14th in 15 years. The S&P has not seen such a move since the end of March 1972. The last time the Dow and Nasdaq were in a similar situation was in the 1990s.

Bitcoin topped $47,000, sending blockchain stocks soaring. As AI optimism continues, Nvidia continues to hit new highs. Microsoft's market capitalization topped $3.1 trillion, surpassing Apple's previous record of $3 trillion.

Revisions to key US inflation data were in line with market expectations. The annual revision of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) released by the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed that the CPI rose 0.2 percent in December, down from the initial estimate of 0.3 percent. But the November figure was revised up to 0.2 percent. The final rate of increase in the core CPI was unchanged at 3.3 percent in the fourth quarter, indicating that the easing of price pressures over the course of last year remains in effect and is unlikely to affect the Fed's monetary policy outlook.
