Options Spy | Big Amazon 0DTE call options orders ahead of earnings

Options Spy: At the stock market turning points, institutions choose the long-expiration options

The 10-year Treasury yield topped 4.54 percent, a 16-year high, but energy stocks led the way, Amazon surged and the S&P 500 rebounded to close higher on Monday.Goldman estimates that each week of the U.S. government shutdown will shave about 0.2 percentage points off GDP, and it also expects the resumption of student loan payments to shave 0.5 percentage points off U.S. economic growth.
