Options on futures are option contracts whose underlying assets are futures contracts. Trading volume and open interest reveal how capital is positioned across different expiries and strike prices. They provide useful signals on market expectations, risk appetite and potential support or resistance zones, although they should not be interpreted as direct bullish or bearish signals. Today’s analysis covers changes in large options trades and open interest on November 3 relative to November 2. These are the latest available data in this report and provide a reference for assessing positioning and risk appetite. The latest futures options data show continued divergence across markets. Nasdaq 100 put open interest remained elevated, although call volume and new call positions led during the la

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$   AMD grew revenue 45% last quarter (44.7% unrounded, my maths). Its guide for this quarter implies 65.5% (my maths; AMD rounds to about 66%). Growth that speeds up at this size is rare. So the useful question is not "how fast". It is "where from", and "how much of it is disclosed". Here is the method first. Then what it shows on AMD. Then the part that should bother you. THE METHOD: THREE CHECKS ON ANY GUIDE Check one. Divide the guide midpoint by the same quarter last year. Not by last quarter. That gives the growth rate the company is actually promising, before its own rounding. Check two. Work out what share of revenue the fastest segment now carries, today and a year ago. If the share jumped, the company

​If Democrat Gina Hinojosa wins the Texas governorship, the direct transmission mechanism to markets is a freeze on AI infrastructure buildout. ​1. The Policy Pivot • She pledges an immediate moratorium on new datacenter approvals until state laws pass protecting water and grid resources. • Plan includes a special session to retroactively revoke 20-year tax incentives granted to large datacenters back in 2015. • Current status: Governor Abbott paused approvals in September, but markets expect Abbott to lift it post-election. A Hinojosa victory extends the freeze indefinitely. • Worst-case scenario: A Democratic sweep of both the governorship and Senate seats. ​2.

The U.S. midterm elections have delivered a dramatic political shift, and Wall Street is already reacting. On November 4, as Democrats secured control of both chambers of Congress, U.S. stock futures initially came under heavy selling pressure. Nasdaq-100 futures fell roughly 2%, while S&P 500 futures dropped as much as 1.2%. Asian semiconductor stocks also declined as investors reassessed the potential impact of a new political landscape on AI infrastructure and technology regulation. But the selloff did not last at the same intensity. As trading continued, Nasdaq-100 futures recovered significantly, narrowing their losses to around 0.7%, while S&P 500 futures also regained part of their earlier decline. Within hours, the market shifted from aggressive selling to a sharp rebound.
