BLK, CME: Futures of Fortune

Jim Fink, Derek Myers / New Trades

Heading into the week, U.S. equity markets are on a bullish footing, with major indexes near (or at) fresh record highs and September inflation (CPI +3.0 % y/y) coming in marginally below consensus (~3.1 %), reinforcing hopes of a Fed rate cut. Technicals remain constructive — the S&P 500 is holding key support zones — but underlying internals (breadth and momentum) are showing early signs of strain, which raises the risk of increased volatility. Key catalysts to watch include upcoming inflation prints (CPI, PCE), Fed commentary, and earnings from major tech leaders. The overall tone is cautiously bullish: bias remains favorable for upside, yet traders should stay alert for reversal or consolidation signals…. Read More


SPX: The Highs Keep Coming

Jim Fink, Derek Myers / Rolls

One roll this Friday afternoon. As of now it looks like Tesla (TSLA) will expire for a profit, however, I will be watching closely to ensure TSLA does not rise above our short strike. If it’s close, we could have a last minute alert. So, be ready just in case. Have a great weekend!… Read More

TPR, CEG: Fashionably Charged

Jim Fink, Derek Myers / New Trades

This upcoming week the markets face a pivotal junction: heavy hitters such as Tesla, Inc. and Netflix, Inc. are reporting earnings, offering a litmus test for whether the recent rally is truly broad-based or still concentrated in a few mega caps. Simultaneously, the delayed U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) print for September — now scheduled for Friday — will dominate investor attention and could reshape expectations around Federal Reserve policy. Add in heightened trade-tension chatter (especially U.S.–China rare-earth/ tariffs) and the risk of broader market fragility is rising even as upside remains on the table. In this environment, selective exposure matters more than blanket bets — key catalysts like earnings surprises + inflation outcomes are likely to drive trade flow this week…. Read More
