Thursday’s AI and chip selloff. On November 5 SPY fell 4.4% and QQQ 6.5%, the week’s largest move, as worries grew that data-center spending would slow. Nvidia closed 9.3% lower and AMD 17.3% lower, and the VIX closed at 28.18, up from 16.61 the day before.

- Acceleration (negative net gamma)
Senntric GEX, all expirations. Snapshot stamped 3:58:53 pm ET on November 6, two minutes before the close.
SPY ended the week just under its 740 put wall, which is also the strike with the largest modeled gamma, in a negative-gamma regime. The 750 call wall sits above it and the 770 magnet well above. In an acceleration regime hedging can extend a move, so what matters is whether SPY gets back above 740 or stays below it. This snapshot predates Monday’s open, so check the live levels before trading.
What to watch
4 questions for the week.
Does October CPI cool after September’s jump?
September CPI rose 0.6% on the month, with gasoline up 9.1%, and September PPI rose 1.3%. Tuesday’s CPI and Friday’s PPI show whether that was a one-off.
Can CoreWeave, Nebius and Applied Materials steady the AI trade?
Thursday’s selloff came on fears of slower data-center spending. CoreWeave on Tuesday, Nebius before Thursday’s open and Applied Materials and Cisco after it are direct reads on that spending.
How do the 10-year and 30-year auctions go?
Weak demand on Tuesday or Thursday would push long yields up, which tends to weigh on growth stocks after a volatile week.
Does SPY get back above the 740 put wall?
SPY closed at $735.29, below the 740 put wall in an acceleration regime, with the 750 call wall above. Reclaiming 740 would ease the pressure; staying below keeps the downside open.

US stock exchanges trade normal hours on Veterans Day, but SIFMA recommends a full close for the bond market and there are no BLS releases. Expect lighter volume. The US open is 5:30 pm in Riyadh and 6:30 pm in Dubai all week.
