- The steel stock that has the shorts and options traders on edge
Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) reports earnings on Oct. 19, and options traders are bracing for a big move after its July report saw a nearly 16% one-day jump, almost double its long-term average move of just over 8%. Short interest is running close to 14%, and short-term implied volatility has been bid up. The article describes a “strangle-swap,” also called a double-diagonal spread, that sells November options and buys January options to capitalize on an expected post-earnings drop in implied volatility, at a net debit of $0.24 per spread ($24). According to the article, the trade is most profitable if CLF stays between $11 and $17 after the report, and maximum risk is about $124 per contract if the stock makes a large move.
- Banks are set to report this week. Here's what the options market expects
At least seven of the biggest banks report earnings this week, while the S&P 500 is near record highs and financials are the third-worst S&P 500 sector in 2026. According to Cboe LiveVol data, options are pricing in a 2.84% move for Goldman Sachs, above its roughly 2% average over the last eight quarters. Citigroup and Wells Fargo are priced for moves of 3% and 3.5%, below their eight-quarter averages of 3.8% and 5.6%. Bank of America’s implied move of 2.9% is well above its 1.8% average, while Morgan Stanley has fallen only once in its last eight reports. Wells Fargo has also reacted negatively to its last three reports.
- Someone Just Spent $21 Million Betting Nvidia Falls Below $180 by January
A trader bought 100,000 put options on Nvidia with a $180 strike expiring January 15, 2027, for about $21 million, or roughly $2.10 per share by the article's calculation. The strike sits 21.5% below the October 9 close, while Nvidia closed down 0.52% at $229.28, so the stock would need a steep decline for the trade to pay off. The buyer is unidentified, and the trade could be a directional bet or portfolio protection; the data cannot show whether it was part of a spread. Nvidia had closed at a record $239.24 on October 6 before falling 2.94% on October 8 after a report that OpenAI's revenue came in below expectations. Revenue for the latest quarter of fiscal 2027 rose 105.8% to $96.22 billion, and the company guided to $108.0 billion for the next quarter, with its next earnings report expected November 17, 2026.
- 3 Founder Led Stocks With Revenue Growth Up To 17%
Simply Wall St's article highlights three founder-led stocks against a backdrop of central banks and G7 officials studying AI's impact on the economy. Braze, a customer engagement platform, generates about US$834 million in revenue (US$460 million from the US and US$375 million internationally) with a US$3.2 billion market cap, and its OfferFit acquisition is expected to enhance AI-driven optimisation. Tesla earns about US$90.8 billion from Automotive and US$12.8 billion from Energy Generation and Storage, with a US$1.5 trillion market cap; the article notes its ambitions in AI, robotaxis, humanoid robotics and battery storage as competition in energy storage intensifies. Sweetgreen, a US chain of healthy fast-food restaurants, generates about US$682 million from food and beverage sales with a US$1.2 billion market cap, but its comparable restaurant sales fell 6.2% with a 4.2% negative mix and no price increase.
- Cboe to expand options trading hours for major stocks and ETFs
Starting Monday, Cboe will extend options trading on 24 of the most actively traded stocks and five ETFs to 7:30–9:25 a.m. and 4:00–4:15 p.m. ET, following SEC approval in May. The move is another step toward around-the-clock trading, as pre-market options trading reached a record average of 228,097 options a day last quarter. The list, updated twice a year, includes the Magnificent Seven, Oracle, Micron, Robinhood, Nokia, Palantir, Pfizer and Alibaba, plus SPY, QQQ, IWM, GLD and XLF. To qualify, securities need an average daily volume of at least 150,000 contracts over six months, a $50 billion market value and at least 10 million shares traded daily, so SpaceX does not yet qualify. TradeStation and Robinhood plan to offer trading in the new sessions, and Cboe also won SEC approval for binary options tied to company KPIs.

- Trump administration may let more Russian diesel onto market, energy secretary tells CNBC
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told CNBC that the U.S. may allow more Russian diesel onto the global market depending on Moscow’s behavior. He framed the Trump administration’s suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel exports as “an incentive” for Moscow to end the war in Ukraine. Under a Trump–Putin deal, Russia would export 800,000 metric tons of diesel in October and November, followed by another million tons; the first 300,000-ton shipment equals about 75,000 barrels per day over one month, and the 500,000-ton tranche about 124,000 bpd. Analysts say these volumes are small relative to global demand of around 28 million barrels per day, so they will not materially lower prices. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several Republican senators have sharply criticized the deal.
- As Trump touts energy companies’ fortunes, U.S. consumers face the most expensive year for gas prices ever
President Donald Trump keeps touting the profits U.S. energy companies have made during the Iran war. He is doing so while campaigning across the country for Republican candidates ahead of next week’s midterm elections.
- VanEck launches diversified ETF combining stocks, bonds and Bitcoin exposure
VanEck has launched the VanEck Wealth Builder ETF (NYSE: WBMO), an actively managed fund investing in stocks, bonds and real assets, with a target Bitcoin allocation of 2% within a permitted range of 1% to 5%. The fund gains Bitcoin exposure through a spot Bitcoin ETP rather than direct holdings, and invests in both VanEck and third-party ETFs. It builds on VanEck’s Wealth Builder model portfolios, previously available to financial advisers through third-party wealth management platforms. David Schassler, VanEck’s head of multi-asset solutions, said the traditional 60/40 portfolio was built for a different investment landscape and that adding real assets alongside stocks and bonds could help investors navigate a wider range of economic conditions. VanEck managed about $244.1 billion in assets as of September 30.
- Intel, IBM, Oracle and IonQ latest to object to OKX-ICE tokenized stocks
Intel, IBM, Oracle and IonQ have objected to having their U.S. stocks listed in tokenized form on the exchange proposed by cryptocurrency exchange OKX and ICE, the parent of the New York Stock Exchange. With these four additions, 26 companies have now filed objections, including Alphabet, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs. The proposal came weeks after the SEC approved temporary innovation exemptions for tokenized U.S. stocks, under which Tokenized Securities Venues (TSVs) can offer limited trading in tokenized NMS stocks. Many companies opting out have U.S. listings on Nasdaq and the NYSE, and Nasdaq advised issuers in September to be “cautious” about participating. OKXICE initially proposed 62 companies listing tokenized stocks, so about 41% have chosen not to participate as of Monday. Co-chair Andrew Cuomo, a former New York governor, said objecting was a “very natural response” and he expects more names to be added.
- Chart: Anthropic's cash pile towers over nearly every U.S. company
Anthropic holds more cash than almost every U.S. company, according to its S-1 filing with the SEC, reporting $112.4 billion in cash and another $19.3 billion in short-term investments as of June 30, for a total of $131.7 billion. Among non-bank U.S. companies, only Berkshire Hathaway and Alphabet rank higher, based on data compiled by CNBC and S&P Capital IQ. If the IPO raises more than $100 billion, as some reports suggest, its cash could exceed $230 billion, though existing investors will also sell shares, so the company won't collect the full amount. Anthropic has raised an aggregate $141 billion in private financing in six years since its founding. However, it typically buys computing power 12 to 18 months ahead and recognizes expenses only when that capacity becomes available, so first-half compute and infrastructure costs of $8.95 billion don't capture its future obligations, which include $321.4 billion in estimated lease obligations, $265.6 billion in fixed or minimum-guaranteed commitments, and about $245 billion in minimum payment obligations under agreements signed after June 30.
