Today's setup has three moving pieces: rising oil prices, renewed scrutiny of AI spending, and incoming labor-market data. Together, they could influence inflation expectations, bond yields, and how investors value long-duration growth stocks.

What's on Your Watchlist This Wednesday?

I'm tracking SMCI, Micron, Intel, oil prices, and the upcoming Meta and Tesla reports. Are you leaning bullish on the AI rebound, or waiting for more confirmation? Drop your tickers and catalysts below.

Oil Is Rising, but Bond Yields Aren’t Telling the Same Story.

Treasury yields have eased slightly even as oil climbs, creating a complicated backdrop for equities. I’m watching whether inflation fears eventually push yields higher again.

My Monday Checklist Is Pretty Simple. Watch whether Nasdaq futures gains hold, whether Treasury yields stay calm, and whether market breadth improves after the bell. I’m not chasing the first green candle.

My Monday Game Plan: Three Things Matter.

First, check index futures for the opening direction. Second, watch Treasury yields and crude oil for macro pressure. Third, see whether tech stocks stabilize or continue making lower lows.

The AI Selloff Isn't Just a U.S. Story

Global chip markets have been under pressure as investors reassess AI spending and data center returns. That matters for U.S. semiconductor names, too.

My Four-Point Watchlist Before the Bell

1) PPI and Treasury yields.
2) NVDA and AMD price action.
3) Memory stocks and AI infrastructure names.
4) Whether the Dow holds up better than the Nasdaq.

Catalyst Watch: Growth Stocks

If core inflation comes in softer than expected and Treasury yields ease, growth stocks could catch a bid. QQQ and major tech names are worth watching, but the market reaction matters more than the headline.

CPI Could Be the Next Big Tech Catalyst

Inflation data lands this week, and Treasury yields remain a major variable for growth stocks. Cooler inflation plus falling yields could give tech some breathing room. A hotter print could do the opposite.

#CPIReport #TechStocks #QQQ

[Matthew Scott @MattScottMarket]

Everyone loves a green premarket until the opening bell tells a different story. Futures are higher today, but yesterday’s tech weakness and still-elevated Treasury yields are reminders that risk hasn’t disappeared.

The Fed is back in focus.

The latest minutes showed policymakers are still wrestling with inflation, while higher energy prices create another headache.

That matters because the market has been pricing a huge amount of optimism into growth stocks.

This could be another rotation day. When oil rises sharply, investors often start looking for sectors that can benefit from higher energy prices while expensive growth stocks face valuation pressure.

The AI trade is getting bigger by the day. It’s not just GPUs anymore. Chips need servers, servers need power, and data centers need massive amounts of electricity. I’m watching the companies sitting underneath that entire AI infrastructure chain.

#AIStocks #DataCenters #NVDA

[Matthew Scott @MattScottMarket]

The 10-year Treasury yield is still hanging around 5.27%, and that remains my biggest concern for growth stocks. If yields stay this high, companies need real earnings growth to justify premium valuations. Watch bonds before chasing another tech breakout.

[Matthew Scott @MattScottMarket]

Energy is getting the obvious boost today.

But here's what I'm really watching:

Which energy stocks hold their gains?

The strongest names after the initial headline reaction are usually the ones worth keeping on the watchlist.

#EnergyStocks #Oil #Trading #Stocks #HAL #VLO

[Matthew Scott @MattScottMarket]

One thing I always watch:

Is the market moving because of fundamentals or because of positioning?

Yesterday’s Nvidia rally was clearly fundamental.

Today’s weakness may be more about positioning and profit-taking.

That difference matters.

#StockMarket #WallStreet #Investing

[Matthew Scott @MattScottMarket]

Friday + Jackson Hole + stretched tech valuations = a market worth watching closely.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see some crazy intraday moves.

The key is not predicting every candle.

The key is knowing what would change your thesis.

#StockMarket #WallStreet #Investing

Today's bullish case:

NVDA beats
→ AI demand stays strong
→ capex expectations rise
→ semis rally
→ AI software follows
→ Nasdaq gets a broader boost
That's the chain bulls want to see.
#NVDA #AIStocks #StockMarket

[Matthew Scott @MattScottMarket]

The market is pricing in a lot from Nvidia already.

So “good” may not be good enough.

Wall Street wants another reason to believe AI capex can keep accelerating.
#NVDA #AIStocks #StockMarket

[Matthew Scott @MattScottMarket]

One thing I'm NOT doing today: blindly buying every AI ticker ahead of NVDA earnings.

High expectations cut both ways.

I'd rather watch relative strength and wait for confirmation.
