Pre-Market Pulse

Risk-on with a hard inflation hedge bid — equities firm, but gold and silver are screaming and crude is bleeding.

Overnight Action

Asia ripped: $^N225 closed +2.81% to 66,020 (6h stale), $^HSI +1.27%. Europe extending: $^STOXX50E +1.39%, $^GDAXI +1.23%, $^FTSE +1.45%. US futures grinding higher with the Dow leading — $YM=F +1.32%, $ES=F +0.38% at 7,424.25, $NQ=F +0.23%, $RTY=F +0.41%. Bonds soft on the long end — $^TNX 4.475%, $^TYX 4.968%. $^VIX -1.39% to 19.17. The real story is in commodities: $GC=F +3.2% to $4,221, $SI=F +4.65% to $66.85, while $CL=F dumps -2.67% to $85.37 and $BZ=F -2.49%. Classic stagflation-hedge tape with crude diverging on supply concerns flagged in overnight wires.

Movers Before the Bell

Pre-market quotes are thin — treat sizes with caution.

  • ▸$GOOGL +1.46% to $363 — leading mega-cap tape, riding AI ETF flow narratives.
  • ▸$AMD +1.34% to $495.97 — semis catching a bid alongside $MSFT +0.8%, $META +1.12%.
  • ▸$AMZN +1.18% to $244.10 — broad mega-cap risk-on participation.
  • ▸$NVDA +0.27% to $205.43 — muted relative to peers; Benzinga flagging a "conflict minerals" supply-chain report touching $NVDA and $MSFT. Watch for headline risk.
  • ▸$USO -1.55% to $126.83 tracking the crude flush; energy complex set to lag the open.
  • ▸$TSLA +0.81% to $402.36 — sympathy bid as Reuters previews the SpaceX market debut post-IPO; JPMorgan data shows hedge funds trimmed broader tech ahead of the listing.

Rocket Lab also flagged higher in Benzinga coverage — space-economy theme is live today.

Still Ahead Today

No high-impact US econ on the tape for today's window. Context from the week: Wednesday's CPI printed 4.17% YoY with Core at 2.82%, and Thursday's PPI ran hot at 6.42% YoY — which fully explains the gold/silver bid and the steep long-end. The SpaceX debut is the marquee event for flow desks; watch for sympathy moves in space names and broader tech rotation post-listing.

Game Plan

$SPY pre-market $741.03 (+0.42%).

  • ▸Resistance: $742 (overnight $ES=F high equivalent) → $745.
  • ▸Support: $738.50 (prior close pivot) → $735.50.
  • ▸Trade: Long commodity hedges into the open — $GLD/$SI=F dips are buyable while PPI heat lingers. Fade energy bounces; $USO momentum is broken. For index longs, wait for $SPY to hold $740 on a pullback rather than chasing the gap.
