Executive Summary

Market color: Today's tape was a broad risk-off: a global bond sell-off drove the 30-year Treasury yield to a 19-year high and kept oil elevated on stalled U.S.-Iran talks, while a WSJ report on hidden hyperscaler debt hit AI power/cooling names. Semis, optics, storage, and power led the decline as money rotated into software, leaving only Microsoft and Alphabet in the green.
Market: SPY -0.5%, QQQ -0.2%. Top mover MSFT +0.3%; worst COHR -12.8%.
Score shift: LITE cheapened by 4.8 pts → now 36 (PART).
Sector flow: Optical led with avg -11.4% across 2 names (options bias: mixed).
Options tape: 13 bullish vs 15 bearish names — mixed.
Next catalyst: Hot Chips 2026 — Chip Architecture in 6d (2026-08-24).
