Nvidia’s (NVDA) latest move closely matched options-market expectations, underscoring a broader recalibration of risk across equities. Kevin Davitt notes that while software and tech see intermittent pressure, the Nasdaq 100 remains supported by its growing sector diversity and defensive names like Walmart (WMT), Costco (COST), and PepsiCo (PEP). He adds that rising demand for index-level put options signals investors are turning to macro hedges as rotations and valuation shifts accelerate.
