Executive Summary

Market color: Broader indexes slipped (SPY -0.7%, QQQ -1.1%), yet AI-linked semis/equipment, optical, and power-grid names rallied 3-11% — a clear rotation into AI infrastructure even as mega-cap tech was mixed. No same-day macro events were scheduled, and the news feed returned no headlines, so individual catalysts were unavailable.

Market: SPY -0.7%, QQQ -1.1%. Top mover BE +10.8%; worst SMCI -1.8%.

Score shift: BE more priced in by 4.2 pts → now 69 (FULL).

Sector flow: Optical led with avg +4.6% across 2 names (options bias: bullish (1/2)).

Options tape: 26 bullish vs 3 bearish names — tilted bullish.

Next catalyst: Non-Farm Payrolls (Oct) in 6d (2026-10-05).
