Previous Day Recap

On the prior session (Korean time, the evening of June 9 through the early hours of June 10), U.S. equities closed mixed as risk-off sentiment thickened one day ahead of the May CPI release. The Dow rose 0.17%, while the S&P 500 fell 0.26% and the Nasdaq dropped 0.97%, with weakness led by tech. Profit-taking washed through the chip and big-tech cohort — Marvell ($MRVL), Arm ($ARM), Qualcomm ($QCOM), Dell ($DELL), and Apple ($AAPL) — while capital rotated into defensives and value plays such as healthcare, financials, and industrials in a textbook rotation day. The VIX jumped 4.39% to 19.75, reflecting heightened caution. In after-hours trading, Casey's General Stores ($CASY), which had reported earnings after the prior close, posted EPS of $4.37 — well above the $3.36 consensus — and gained 2.6%.

Current Market Mood

In the pre-market, futures are uniformly in the red. S&P 500 futures are -0.4%, Nasdaq futures -0.6%, and Dow futures -0.3%, with yesterday's tech profit-taking flow continuing into the open. The mood is closest to "cautious wait-and-see." Two variables are weighing on sentiment simultaneously: first, the May Consumer Price Index (CPI) due at 21:30 Korean time tonight, and second, news of the U.S. strike against Iran's air defense network. The consensus calls for headline CPI of +4.2% year-over-year (the first print in the 4% range since May 2023), so fears of reflation are shackling risk assets broadly.

Pre-Market News Roundup

Today's Events

Oracle ($ORCL), reporting after today's close, is easily the marquee event. It is a moment that will retest the wobbling AI rally, and the market will be focused on cloud revenue growth and the pace at which the record-breaking backlog (RPO) actually converts into revenue.

Macro Schedule

Today is a pivot point — an inflation print that could decide the direction for the entire week.

Headline CPI consensus is +4.2% YoY (vs. prior 3.8%) and +0.5% MoM (vs. prior 0.6%). Core CPI is expected at +2.9% YoY (vs. prior 2.8%) and +0.3% MoM (vs. prior 0.4%). If headline exceeds expectations and crosses 4%, it would be the first 4%-handle print since May 2023, pushing back Fed rate-cut expectations further and piling additional pressure on high-multiple tech names. A downside surprise, conversely, would be a turning point where risk appetite quickly recovers.

Names to Watch

On a technical basis, big tech broadly has entered oversold territory. Most of the Magnificent Seven have slipped to Stochastic %K readings of 20 or below, and Apple ($AAPL) in particular has breached the lower Bollinger Band, compounded by the negative of Siri AI's non-launch in the EU. While a technical bounce on oversold magnitude is possible, defensive rotation is likely to persist until the CPI result is in, so a selective approach is warranted. Oracle ($ORCL) is meeting earnings with its MACD having broken below the signal line, so volatility is set to expand sharply depending on the result. In payments and communications, PayPal ($PYPL) and Netflix ($NFLX) have entered RSI-30-or-below oversold zones and are cited as rebound candidates.

Today's Game Plan

Keep your cool today, and focus on the flow rather than any single print.
