Fri, Oct 17
- (Lighter slate among mega caps; watch late-week guidance from transports/financials.) Investors
30-day view: Neutral with a downside bias. Rationale: (1) Event risk is elevated (bank earnings this week; CPI on Oct 24), (2) Tariff headlines just spiked volatility and hit growth/small caps hardest, (3) shutdown-related data timing noisecomplicates macro read-throughs. Offsetting: positioning isn’t extreme and buy-the-dip flows can appear into late-Oct seasonality. Net: I’d keep risk tight, use reduced net-delta / shorter DTE income structures, and fade rips into resistance until CPI + first two weeks of earnings confirm margins and guidance. Financial Times+2Reuters+2
Action plan: tighten stops; favor market-neutral income (e.g., iron condors/BWBs) on SPX/QQQ with defined risk; wait for Thu 10/16 data and first-wave bank prints before expanding exposure.
