Tesla up 5.14% on a Monday — the week is already awake.
Futures first. SPY up 0.41, QQQ up 0.35. Asian markets unavailable tonight. VIX sitting at 15.13 — calm. Gold up 1.06, which is the one thing worth watching if you think calm doesn't last. IWM up 0.77, DIA up 0.89. Small caps and Dow outpacing tech slightly. Broad-based green.
No economic calendar today. Clean tape.
Now the stocks.
Tesla up 5.14%, closing at 362.86. No single catalyst — momentum is doing the work. Oracle up 3.1% at 146.47, AI infrastructure story still has legs. Intel down 2.24% at 90.07, the one red flag in an otherwise green session. Salesforce up 1.82% at 209.17, quiet but consistent. Costco up 1.52% at 947.74, defensive money rotating in. UnitedHealth up 1.37% at 390.11, healthcare holding firm. Google up 1.22% at 344.82, steady. Broadcom up 1.21% at 368.45, semis mixed but Broadcom isn't flinching. Nvidia down 0.98% at 214.72 — the one chip name that didn't follow Broadcom's lead today.
Tech led. Intel was the outlier on the downside. Everything else moved in the same direction, which doesn't happen often on a Monday.
Earnings on deck. Abercrombie reports today — consensus EPS sitting at 1.9958, retail watching closely. Box reports after the close, estimate 0.4022. ALCY, BSPK, DREM, and DXLG also on the board — DXLG expected to post a small loss at negative 0.04.
No drama in the macro. No scheduled data. Just price action and whatever earnings deliver after the bell.
Numbers don't lie. People do. Trade accordingly.
