Good Morning,
NASDAQ Futures are down 5 with +5 Fair Value, Dow Futures are down 32. Futures had been suspiciously green all morning for a change, even following a 3rd consecutive day of yuan devaluing, and just dropped suddenly before the bell. Cisco earnings report impresses and CSCO is up over 4%. On the other hand, Kohl's misses and is down over 7%. Tesla announces it will sell $500 million in new stock, Elon will be buying $20 million of it. TSLA is up nearly 2% in pre-market.
Yesterday AAPL experienced one of the most substantial reversals in AAPL stock ever seen. After crashing on open and breaking 110 on over a million shares, AAPL spent the rest of the day recovering and eventually turned green for good in the afternoon on high volume. AAPL closed out the intra-day session at 115.24, well over 5 points above the morning low. AAPL continued to gain in after-hours and ended the session at 115.7.
This morning in pre-market, AAPL opened at a high of 116.39 on moderately light volume and subsequently gravitated around 116 for most of the morning on moderately high volume, then after 8:18 beginning to slip down towards mid-115s. AAPL is currently up 44 cents at 115.68.
Classic max-pain is now 115, predictably down a point from yesterday.
