Saturday open — futures are bleeding while individual names are ripping, and that disconnect is the whole story today.
LLY up 7.13%, sitting at $1,208. Pharma doing pharma things — something moved the needle hard. MSFT up 5.71% to $372.97. Software catching a bid while the broader tape sags. CRM up 5.45% at $158.37 — enterprise tech running with Microsoft, not against it. NFLX up 4.1% to $73.81. Streaming names don't usually lead, but here we are. AAPL up 3.14% at $283.78 — quiet grind, consistent. UNH up 2.97% at $427.89. Healthcare holding its own.
Now the other side. AVGO down 3.67% to $365.02 — semis getting punished while software rallies. That rotation is real. INTC down 3.42% at $128.32. Chips are the losers on this tape, full stop. ORCL down 2.58% to $148.53 — Oracle dropping while the rest of enterprise tech runs is worth noting. AMD down 2.06% at $521.58 — more semi pain. GOOGL down 1.84% at $337.39 — search taking a quiet hit while the rest of mega-cap swings hard. AMZN up 2.5% to $232.69 — consumer and cloud holding up on the positive side.
Macro picture: SPY off 0.72%. QQQ down 1.38% — tech futures taking the bigger hit, which makes the individual software names moving higher even more notable. IWM up 0.31%, small caps barely positive. DIA off 0.29%. VIX at 18.41 — elevated but not screaming. Gold up 1.2%, the defensive bid is quiet but present.
Asian markets data unavailable. Nothing on the economic calendar. No earnings on deck.
The read here is simple: semis are getting sold, software is getting bought, and the index-level weakness is hiding some aggressive single-name strength. LLY at plus seven on a Saturday pre-market is not a small move. Neither is MSFT at plus five when QQQ futures are in the red. ORCL and AMD sliding while CRM and MSFT rip — that's not noise, that's a clean rotation signal. Chips out, software in, healthcare steady, gold creeping.
Nothing scheduled to change the narrative today. Watch how Monday opens against this setup.
Numbers don't lie. People do. Trade accordingly.
