This week is all about the Nvidia earnings report, which comes out after the close on Wednesday.
Despite the lethargic, low-volume trading environment, expectations are set for a jump in volatility. I pulled this story out of Reuters just after 1:00 am titled, “Nvidia earnings could spark $200 billion swing in shares, options show.”
Remember, this is now a $2.3 trillion company.
Also, Memorial Day weekend is coming up. Here’s the trading schedule surrounding the holiday.
