Tony Zhang: Weakness Beneath SPX & NDX; UUP and APO Options Ideas
Tony Zhang warns of hidden weakness under SPX/NDX amid rising yields and outlines UUP and APO options trades to play yield volatility.
Editorial companion
What stands out
Tony Zhang argues that the surface strength in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 masks broad weakness underneath, and he ties that weakness to a persistent rally in Treasury yields. He walks through how higher yields can sap equity internals and then offers concrete options ideas, using the U.S. dollar ETF and Apollo stock, as ways to trade yield-related volatility rather than betting on a straightforward market collapse. The clip matters because it shifts the frame from index moves to internals and tradeable volatility.
