Hey everyone! Sam here (AKA @SamSolid57 on X)
I drop into your inbox a few times a week, breaking down the biggest stories in finance and the moves that matter most.
Let’s get into it
Nvidia Takes Center Stage
Quite interesting how everything funnels into today for $NVDA. You’ve got technicals, fundamentals, and a ton of money lined up on both sides waiting for a decisive move. The chart sits right at key moving averages, momentum is split, and options pricing is projecting one of the biggest earnings swings of the year.
Fundamentally, this print matters. Investors want clarity on datacenter growth, Blackwell ramp timing, margins holding north of 70%, and whether hyperscaler demand remains as strong as the last three quarters. Any wobble in guidance will be felt across semis, AI cloud, and the entire hardware supply chain.
For investors looking to tap into the automation and AI wave, Leverage Shares offers the Themes Generative Artificial Intelligence ETF ($WISE), which tracks the Solactive Generative Artificial Intelligence Index. The index identifies 40 companies generating revenue from core AI segments including artificial intelligence, data analytics and big data, natural language processing, and AI-driven services. You can review the full prospectus here.
Walmart Reports Tomorrow
But don’t forget, $WMT reports tomorrow morning, giving us a clean snapshot of the consumer… especially the middle and lower income brackets that drive the bulk of U.S. retail spending. Investors will be watching for trends in grocery inflation, discretionary pullbacks, and whether the company continues to hold or take share from Target and dollar stores.
Walmart has been one of the most stable names in retail this year, and its commentary carries more weight than any single macro dataset when it comes to real-time household health.
September BLS Jobs Data
And to round it out, tomorrow morning brings the September BLS jobs report. Will recent cooling trends hold, or is this the moment where the labor market finally flips?
A soft print would strengthen the case for more rate cuts, while a hot print risks reigniting yield pressure and tightening financial conditions. The market is in wait-and-see mode until this hits the tape.
Thanks for reading! Catch you in the next one!
