The watchlist
Three names on the desk's radar for the next session, with the level that matters and why.

The print
One chart, printed clean. No indicators stacked six deep. If it doesn't fit on an index card, it's cut.

Close: Nvidia leads a broad advance, yields tick up
Issue 47 · 5 min read
Green tape into the bell. The S&P added 0.22%, its fourth gain in five sessions, on breadth that actually backed it up — 289 advancers to 211 decliners on the NYSE.
“This wasn't a one-stock rally. Eight of eleven sectors closed green, and volume in financials was the heaviest since March.”
- ▲Nvidia +3.7% ahead of next week's print; options pricing a 6.8% move.
- ▼Super Micro -8.7% on a delayed 10-K — second delay this year.
- ▲10-year yield up 3bps to 4.28% on a soft 30-year auction tail.
Tomorrow: jobless claims at 8:30, and three regional banks report before the bell.
See you at the close,

On the desk already
“First thing I read before the open. The breadth number alone saves me from chasing green days that are really one stock.”
“Cut three other newsletters after this one. It's the only one that tells me the yield move mattered before financial media caught up.”
“I don't trade daily but I read daily. Four minutes and I know if anything in my book needs attention.”
