A later-term roll-out suggests investors could be bulled up on the online auction house
On today’s Options News, Karla Yeh and the ONN.tv team cover the CBOE SPX Volatility Index (VIX) , which dropped 5% to 16.8 on the day Wednesday. The VIX continues to hover around the 17-mark, which it hasn’t seen since January.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in unchanged in February for the month-over-month, and climbed 2.1% year-over-year compared to estimates a 2.3% rise.
Jobless claims dropped by 5,000 to 457,000 compared to estimates of 455,000. Continuing claims came in at 457,000 thousand on the week, lower than estimates of 452,000.
The Core PPI report showed a 1.1% climb month-over-month, which came in-line with consensus estimates. Year-over-year, the index climbed 4.4% compared to estimates of 4.9%.
ONN.tv Chief Investment Strategist Jud Pyle provides commentary on an interesting roll-out on Friday in online auction house eBay Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY). EBAY earnings are due sometime in April, and at least one investor could have expressed bullishness and rolled a long April call position out to July. EBAY closed at $26.98 on Wednesday. Investors who rolled out their EBAY positions most likely expect the stock to continue to rally throughout the later-term.
