What stands out

Bloomberg's Open Interest opened with a clear tableau: Intel is offering roughly $15 billion in common stock to accelerate AI capacity just as the market braces for fresh inflation prints later this week. That pairing captures the tug-of-war investors face, between capital-hungry tech pivots and a macro backdrop that determines the price of capital. Toss in the GameStop-eBay drama and Amazon's push into trucking, and you have a market where M&A noise, logistics investments, and rising-price risk will sort winners from losers over the next year.
