Triple Witching, Tesla Trouble, and a Freight Sell-Off

Options Expiry Day Sets the Tone

June options expiry lands today — a triple-witching event adding volatility across tech and healthcare. NVDA carries the deepest options chain in the market, with 29 active expiry dates. TSLA faces fresh pressure after Reuters reported the company gave European regulators misleading Full Self-Driving safety data. Tesla has 25 active expiry dates today. Put interest in near-dated contracts looks elevated as traders react to the headline.

Freight Bears Strike

Analysts turned negative on transport today. Both CHRW and ODFL were downgraded in a sweeping sector call. FOXA also took a hit — Barclays cut its target from $67 to $60 and moved to Hold. The freight downgrades add to a bearish tone in cyclical names.

Short Sellers on the Move

Bears piled into Cerebras Systems last week. Short interest leapt from 6.3% to 30.3% of free float — a near-fivefold rise. Car rental names remain deeply shorted. Hertz sits at 44.6% and Avis at 44.8%. On the other side, Wolfspeed shorts are retreating fast — SI% FF dropped 31 points to 88.1%.

Big Money Exits and China Moves

Silver Lake filed $776M in DELL sales. An NVDA board director sold $199M in shares. Alibaba is reportedly eyeing a major bid in China's grocery delivery sector. JD.com announced a $4.5B Hong Kong expansion. Both stories signal shifting capital flows in US-listed China tech.

Earnings Week Begins

Progressive kicks off earnings today. CarMax reports Tuesday — it carries 11.4% short interest, making it the most-watched name of the week. Kroger follows Wednesday.
