vols really strong into weekend after inflation data was benign? wonder if banks are outperforming semis let me check

part of this vol move be an Asia response China blasting higher this week (bazooka stimulus) and the large Japan overnight movements on the election (Nikkei sinking, Yen spiking) best markets are calm markets. and we don’t really have much tranquility right now

VVIX adding 10 with ES doing nothing at ATHs

if weekend is calm in mideast; and the yen, nikkei slow down overnight into Monday morning, we could see snap back down in vols. today's move seems like it's more than just the election -- it's been preventing VX from dropping, not causing spikes like this

massive Japan moves. bad US rotations (RTY over NQ, banks over semis.) Oct VX adding 1.05 on a friday! maybe that's just geopolitics. but we are 6 sessions closer to settlement, and Oct VX is higher since the 50 cut. really poor mechanics today

COIN, MSTR, HOOD...all the bitcoin garbage related names soared today

wonder what the Nikkei VIX will do overnight Sunday. because the Yen and Nikkei futures (reacting to the election results their regular session was closed for) had movements that aren’t too dissimilar that led to the August blowout

a friend’s 10 year old asked if i wanted to hear a joke. i said of course. and then from behind his back he hands me a piece of paper that says, “camping is in-tents”

Foden was garbage at the euros. and now Pep has sat him for all 6 prem games so far this season (today with no KDB or Rodri!)

Nwaneri should have come on Partey 15 minutes. Arteta still leaving subs too late

for many players this will mean 3 consecutive summers will almost no time off. it's insane, these guys play too much
