π Market Overview: Midweek Pulse β CoreWeave's AI Reprieve Sends Nasdaq Futures Up 1.9% Into a Bondless, Hawkish Tape β November 11, 2026
Pre-Market Briefing β November 11, 2026 | 9:15 AM ET | Market Opens in 15 Minutes
Two overnight developments just rewired the risk mood: CoreWeave's earnings beat soothed the AI-spending panic, and Anthropic's IPO machine began ingesting demand worldwide. US futures are bid with the Nasdaq 100 leading at +1.86% β but it's Veterans Day, the bond market is shut, there is no economic data to lean on, and a hot CPI print from yesterday still has a December Fed hike fully priced. Today's tape will trade on headline liquidity, not on yields.

|---|---|---|---|
| πΊπΈ US (Prev Close) | S&P 500 | 7,520.93 | -0.38% |
| πΊπΈ US (Prev Close) | NASDAQ | 25,065.88 | -0.74% |

| π¨π¦ Canada | S&P/TSX | 36,170.45 | -0.76% |
Asia did the heavy lifting again: Taiwan's TAIEX ripped 3.62% (TSMC rallied over 4% after approving up to $1 billion in investments in OpenAI and Anthropic, per WSJ/Invezz) and the KOSPI added 2.60%, while the Nikkei climbed 1.31%. Europe's STOXX 600 flirted with record highs on Siemens Energy and CoreWeave outlooks. The lone red ball is Hang Seng at -0.98% β a China-specific drag β and Canada slipped 0.76% overnight before our open.
π Pre-Market Futures
| Futures | Level | Change | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| S&P 500 (ES=F) | 7,614.75 | +0.93% | π’ |
| NASDAQ 100 (NQ=F) | 28,353.00 | +1.86% | π’ leading |
| DJIA (YM=F) | 52,446.00 | +0.25% | π’ |
| Russell 2000 (RTY=F) | 2,853.20 | +0.86% | π’ |
| VIX | 18.27 | -6.12% | π‘ easing but elevated |
Futures point to a gap-up open with the Nasdaq 100 clearly out front β a tech-led repair session after Tuesday's -0.74% Composite close. ES trading above its 200-day average (7,369.96) and NQ reclaiming ground toward 28,400 tells you dip-buyers came back the moment CoreWeave printed. The caution flag: VIX at 18.27 is falling fast (-6.12%) but still sits in the elevated 18-25 band β this is a bounce inside a nervous market, not a regime change. Volume will be holiday-thinned.
π’οΈ Commodities & Bonds
| Asset | Price | Change | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| π₯ Gold | $4,042.70 | -1.75% | Yields dominant |
| π’οΈ WTI Crude (Dec) | $86.44 | -0.47% | Steady; Brent rebounded above $92 |
| π 10Y Yield | Unavailable today | β | Bond market CLOSED (Veterans Day) |
Gold is testing its $4,051 pivot after tumbling on Tuesday's hot CPI (+0.35% MoM, +4.08% YoY per macro data; Kitco reported gold and silver plunged as hotter inflation raised the prospect of a larger Fed rate hike). The normal inverse relationship is intact: rate expectations up, gold down. Oil is a two-way story β WTI drifting at $86.44 while Brent climbed back above $92 as renewed Middle East strikes offset Iran truce hopes (WSJ/Reuters). Key structural note: the US bond market is closed all day for Veterans Day (SIFMA full close), so there is no live yield anchor β expect thinner, headline-driven price discovery.
π SAR Semiconductor Snapshot
Data from TurningPointAlert | As of November 10, 2026, 4:15 PM ET | SAR(0.02, 0.20)
| Stock | Price | SAR | Signal | Days | Flip % | Alert |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NVDA | $168.89 | $195.83 | BEARISH | Day 21 | +15.95% | β |
| MU | $725.11 | $920.41 | BEARISH | Day 7 | +26.93% | β |
| AMD | $515.21 | $402.10 | BULLISH | Day 1 | -21.95% | π¨ fresh flip |
| INTC | $58.13 | $81.57 | BEARISH | Day 8 | +40.32% | β |
| AVGO | $331.98 | $340.73 | BEARISH | Day 8 | +2.64% | β‘ near flip |
π¨ = Flipped (24h) | β‘ = Near flip (<3%)
The board stands at 1-for-4 after AMD's bullish flip broke a seven-day all-bear lockout β and AVGO is now the live wire, just 2.64% from joining it. With AVGO pre-market strength and the CoreWeave read-through, a green close above $340.73 would flip the board to 2-for-3 before lunch. NVDA's bearish wall at $195.83 keeps compressing as price falls, but its +3.3% pre-market bounce cannot flip a 21-day bearish SAR that sits 15.95% away β SAR is confirmation, not a bottom call.
π₯ Pre-Market Movers
| Ticker | Price | Change | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRWV | $55.25 | +13.38% | Q3 revenue beat + raised full-year guidance soothed AI-spending fears (CNBC/WSJ) |
| SNDK | $932.70 | +8.45% | Memory read-through from CoreWeave results; 8-for-1 split effective Nov 20 |
| MU | $773.86 | +6.72% | Memory complex surges on CoreWeave demand signal (Invezz); Barron's notes Goldman sees rivals as better value |
| NVDA | $174.40 | +3.32% | Rebound after two-day, ~$430-470B scandal wipeout; "business as usual" push (CNBC) |
| RSKD | $10.57 | +24.6% | Q3 earnings released this morning (Benzinga) |
On the downside, AI hardware suppliers are the cautionary tale: DELL -3.44% at $334.38, COHR -4.68% at $214.66, BE -4.36%, GLW -3.29% (ChartMill pre-market scan). The rally is narrow β compute demand is being bought, capex-heavy supplier names are not. Western Union is also active after scrapping its $500M Intermex acquisition over California regulatory pushback (WSJ).
π Today's Key Events
| Time (ET) | Event | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| All day | Veterans Day: bond market & Fed payments system CLOSED; equities open regular session; no top-tier economic data scheduled (Kiplinger) | High (liquidity) |
| Today | Anthropic Australian retail IPO offering opens (closes Nov 17); Nasdaq debut possible Nov 19 at $70-$78/share, ~$1.4T valuation | High |
| Pre-open | 28 companies report before the bell β incl. RUM, RSKD, SGML, GIB, ICL (Earnings Whispers) | Medium |
| After close | 37 companies report β incl. FNV, TTEK, CAE, CTVA, OR, ENS (MarketChameleon) | Medium |
| Friday | PPI print = next inflation checkpoint after hot CPI; gold traders already positioned for it (FXEmpire) | High (forward) |
π― What to Watch Today
- π Does the CoreWeave bounce have breadth? β If MU (+6.7%) and AVGO hold their pre-market gains through the first hour, the chip board's near-flip goes live; if the rally stays confined to a handful of names, fade the move.
- π AVGO's flip wire at $340.73 β The single most actionable SAR setup on the tape: a close above it turns the board 2-for-3 bullish for the first time since late October.
- π NVDA scandal follow-through β A second consecutive up day would mark the first real bid since the Wachtell Lipton probe hit; failure to hold $168.89 reopens the two-day breakdown. The Nov 18 House briefing keeps the overhang on.
- π Anthropic IPO demand signals β Australian retail books opening today are the first real-world gauge of the $1.4 trillion ask; strength supports the whole AI complex, including AMD and MU via the $26B private placement.
- π Holiday-thinned liquidity mechanics β With bonds closed and no data, midday drift can exaggerate moves in both directions; respect stops, don't chase gaps, and remember PPI Friday is the next macro landmine.
