Three Things
- Semiconductor supply chains are tightening again — three key suppliers reported order backlogs hitting 2021 levels. The AI capex cycle isn't slowing down.
- Retail is piling into 0DTE puts — short-dated put volume hit levels last seen October 2023. Two weeks later, SPY rallied 8%. History doesn't repeat, but the pattern is worth watching.
- Two Fed governors broke ranks on rate timing — the consensus is fracturing. Bond markets noticed. Equity markets haven't. Yet.
The Number
89%
Percentage of S&P 500 stocks trading above their 50-day moving average — the highest reading since January 2024. Breadth this strong has historically preceded sustained rallies, not reversals.
