Triple Witching, Tesla FSD Trouble, and a $414M Dell Exit

Options Expiry Shakes Markets

Today is June triple witching — options, futures, and index contracts all expire simultaneously. NVDA carries the deepest chain of any stock, with 29 active expiry dates. Chip stocks swung sharply last week before rebounding. Heavy open interest sits around the June 18 and June 30 dates, making today a potential volatility trigger.

Tesla Under Regulatory Fire

TSLA faces fresh pressure after Reuters reported the company gave European regulators misleading Full Self-Driving safety data. With 25 active expiry dates today and elevated put interest in near-dated contracts, the FSD story could accelerate selling. ORTEX scores show momentum at 58 heading into the session — but that may not hold.

Insiders Exit, One CEO Buys Big

Silver Lake sold over $414 million in DELL shares between June 5 and June 11. That is the largest insider filing of the week by a wide margin. Shares changed hands at $398–$404 each. Marc Andreessen also filed a $75.6 million sale of IOT Samsara stock over four days last week. On the other side, Summit Therapeutics CEO Robert Duggan bought $50 million of SMMT stock at $13.12 — a strong show of personal conviction in the cancer drug company.

Europe: Carmakers and Gold in Focus

European hedge funds are betting against the region's automakers, according to the FT. Chinese competition fears are driving shorts, wiping tens of billions of euros off sector valuations. Separately, central banks are accelerating gold repatriation amid rising global insecurity — a trend with broad macro implications. JPM JPMorgan also announced plans to expand its Chase digital bank into France, Spain, and Italy.

AI Chip Bulls Bear Down

Short sellers piled into CBRS Cerebras last week, with SI % FF jumping 26 points to 32.4%. Analyst calls remain mixed. B of A upgraded XOM to Buy with a $154 target, while BTIG slapped a Sell on AXP with a $285 target.
