Today's Market

Happy Options Expiration, Knicks Anticipation, Clyde Imitation Friday,

Fueled by this weekend’s détente and the investment announcements in the Middle East the S&P 500 has closed higher every day this week bringing WTD gains to 4.5%, pushing the index back above its 200d ma and leaving it in slightly positive territory YTD. Markets are looking to keep that streak alive with S&P futures currently trading 0.25% above fair-value but have been pulling back from the highs as we approach the open. Today is options expiration which has been very skewed to the call side. After the open let’s see if 5.900 or 5,950 has more magnetic pull. As these positions roll off it will be interesting to see if this reintroduces some more volatility back into the market next week.

What's next?


The NYSE looks forward to welcoming more leading companies from around the world in 2025, growing our one-of-a-kind community and setting the pace for innovation on a global scale. We’re endlessly inspired by the people behind these companies, check out their stories below and let’s make something happen together.
