Overnight / Pre-market in 8 lines

  • US equity markets are open today; May 13 is a regular Wednesday and is not listed as a NYSE holiday closure.
  • NQ=F: 29,391.50 last at 06:51 ET; today 29,447.00 high / 29,255.50 low / 29,261.75 open; above prior close 29,170.00.
  • ES=F: 7,443.75 last at 06:51 ET; today 7,454.25 high / 7,433.00 low / 7,434.75 open; above prior close 7,426.50.
  • CL=F: 102.11 last at 06:51 ET; today 102.31 high / 100.56 low / 101.05 open; roughly flat versus prior close 102.18 after a firm overnight rebound.
  • GC=F: 4,704.20 last at 06:51 ET; today 4,723.10 high / 4,692.30 low / 4,704.50 open; above prior close 4,677.60 but off the overnight high.
  • DXY: 98.461 last, up from 98.290 prior close; 10Y yield: 4.463% last Yahoo snapshot from May 12 14:55 ET; VIX: 17.95, slightly below 17.99 prior close.
  • Equity futures are bid but not cleanly impulsive: NQ is above yesterday’s high, while ES is holding a tight range just above its prior high.
  • Today’s main macro risk is 08:30 PPI; expect false breaks before the data and cleaner signals only after acceptance above/below the pre-market range.

Today’s catalysts (ET)

  • 08:30: Core PPI m/m — forecast 0.3%, previous 0.1%.
  • 08:30: PPI m/m — forecast 0.5%, previous 0.5%.
  • 10:30: Crude Oil Inventories — forecast -2.0M, previous -2.3M; direct CL risk.
  • 11:30: FOMC Member Collins speaks.
  • 12:29: Fed Chair Nomination Vote — calendar source marks this as high impact.
  • 13:01: 30-year bond auction; 13:15: FOMC Member Kashkari speaks. Rates reaction matters for NQ/ES/GC.

Trade plans (futures)

NQ — Plan

  • Bias: Constructive while holding above 29,337.50 / 29,261.75; PPI must not trigger a failed breakout back through the open.
  • Key levels: 29,447.00 / 29,391.50 / 29,337.50 / 29,261.75 / 29,255.50.
  • 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If NQ accepts above 29,447.00 after PPI, then favor continuation and trail against 29,391.50. If it rejects 29,447.00 and loses 29,337.50, then treat the move as a failed overnight breakout toward 29,261.75.
  • 20:00–23:00 (if-then): Evening continuation is favored only if price holds above 29,337.50 after the cash close; below that, expect mean reversion toward 29,261.75 unless 29,447.00 is reclaimed.
  • Invalidation: Bullish bias is wrong on sustained acceptance below 29,255.50.

ES — Plan

  • Bias: Neutral-to-constructive while above 7,433.00; ES needs acceptance above 7,454.25 to expand range.
  • Key levels: 7,454.25 / 7,443.75 / 7,436.50 / 7,434.75 / 7,433.00.
  • 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If ES holds 7,434.75 and breaks/accepts above 7,454.25, then target upside continuation. If it loses 7,433.00 after PPI, then favor a rotation back toward 7,426.50 prior close.
  • 20:00–23:00 (if-then): Above 7,436.50, the evening setup is continuation; below 7,436.50, treat bounces as mean-reversion unless 7,454.25 is reclaimed.
  • Invalidation: Constructive bias fails on acceptance below 7,426.50.

CL — Plan

  • Bias: Bullish while above 101.05; crude reclaimed its overnight open and is holding near 102 ahead of inventories.
  • Key levels: 102.31 / 102.11 / 101.05 / 100.56 / 98.67.
  • 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If CL accepts above 102.31 and inventories do not reverse it, then favor continuation. If 102.31 rejects and 102.11 fails, then expect mean reversion toward 101.05.
  • 20:00–23:00 (if-then): After the inventory reaction, continuation is favored above 102.11; a hold below 101.05 flips the evening slot to mean-reversion/lower continuation toward 100.56.
  • Invalidation: Bullish bias is wrong on acceptance below 100.56.

GC — Plan

  • Bias: Neutral-to-bullish above 4,692.30, but DXY strength means gold needs rates/USD confirmation after PPI.
  • Key levels: 4,723.10 / 4,704.50 / 4,704.20 / 4,692.30 / 4,677.60.
  • 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If GC reclaims and accepts above 4,723.10 after PPI, then favor continuation. If it rejects below 4,723.10 and loses 4,692.30, then expect a rotation toward 4,677.60.
  • 20:00–23:00 (if-then): Evening continuation is favored above 4,704.50 only if DXY/rates are not rising; below 4,692.30, switch to mean-reversion/lower continuation.
  • Invalidation: Bullish bias fails on sustained acceptance below 4,677.60.

Execution checklist (today)

  • Do not over-size before 08:30 PPI; wait for acceptance, not the first spike.
  • For NQ/ES, failed acceptance back below the overnight opens is the warning that the pre-market bid is trapped.
  • For CL, separate the technical 102.31 breakout from the 10:30 inventory reaction; do not chase if inventories immediately fade the move.
  • For GC, confirm DXY and rates: a stronger dollar/yield reaction weakens gold longs even if price initially pops.
  • Evening slot: trade continuation only if the day-session trigger still holds after the cash close; otherwise default to mean reversion.

隔夜 / 盘前(8 条要点)

  • 今日美国股市正常开市;5 月 13 日是普通周三,且不在 NYSE 假日休市名单内。
  • NQ=F: 06:51 ET 最新 29,391.50;今日高点 29,447.00 / 低点 29,255.50 / 开盘 29,261.75;高于前收 29,170.00。
  • ES=F: 06:51 ET 最新 7,443.75;今日高点 7,454.25 / 低点 7,433.00 / 开盘 7,434.75;高于前收 7,426.50。
  • CL=F: 06:51 ET 最新 102.11;今日高点 102.31 / 低点 100.56 / 开盘 101.05;较前收 102.18 基本持平,但隔夜反弹较强。
  • GC=F: 06:51 ET 最新 4,704.20;今日高点 4,723.10 / 低点 4,692.30 / 开盘 4,704.50;高于前收 4,677.60,但低于隔夜高点。
  • DXY: 最新 98.461,高于前收 98.290;10 年期美债收益率: Yahoo 快照显示 4.463%,时间为 5 月 12 日 14:55 ET;VIX: 17.95,略低于前收 17.99。
  • 股指期货偏强但并非单边冲刺:NQ 高于昨日高点,ES 则在昨日高点上方维持窄幅区间。
  • 今日主要宏观风险是 08:30 PPI;数据前容易出现假突破,数据后对盘前区间的接受/跌回更有交易意义。

今日催化剂(美东时间)

  • 08:30: 核心 PPI 月率 — 预期 0.3%,前值 0.1%。
  • 08:30: PPI 月率 — 预期 0.5%,前值 0.5%。
  • 10:30: 原油库存 — 预期 -2.0M,前值 -2.3M;直接影响 CL。
  • 11:30: FOMC 成员 Collins 讲话。
  • 12:29: 美联储主席提名投票 — 日历来源标记为高影响。
  • 13:01: 30 年期国债拍卖;13:15: FOMC 成员 Kashkari 讲话。利率反应会影响 NQ/ES/GC。

交易计划(期货)

NQ — 计划

  • 偏向: 只要守在 29,337.50 / 29,261.75 上方就偏建设性;PPI 后不能跌回开盘价并形成失败突破。
  • 关键价位: 29,447.00 / 29,391.50 / 29,337.50 / 29,261.75 / 29,255.50。
  • 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 PPI 后 NQ 接受在 29,447.00 上方,那么偏向延续,并以 29,391.50 作为跟踪防守位。如果在 29,447.00 受阻并跌破 29,337.50,那么把这次上涨视为隔夜突破失败,目标看向 29,261.75。
  • 20:00–23:00(if-then): 只有现金盘收盘后仍守在 29,337.50 上方,晚盘才偏向延续;低于该位则预期向 29,261.75 均值回归,除非重新收复 29,447.00。
  • 失效条件: 持续接受在 29,255.50 下方,偏多观点失效。

ES — 计划

  • 偏向: 站在 7,433.00 上方时中性偏多;ES 需要接受在 7,454.25 上方才能扩大区间。
  • 关键价位: 7,454.25 / 7,443.75 / 7,436.50 / 7,434.75 / 7,433.00。
  • 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 ES 守住 7,434.75 并突破/接受在 7,454.25 上方,那么目标是上行延续。如果 PPI 后跌破 7,433.00,则偏向回落至前收 7,426.50 附近。
  • 20:00–23:00(if-then): 高于 7,436.50 时,晚盘偏向延续;低于 7,436.50 时,将反弹视为均值回归,除非重新收复 7,454.25。
  • 失效条件: 接受在 7,426.50 下方,建设性观点失效。

CL — 计划

  • 偏向: 站在 101.05 上方时偏多;原油收复隔夜开盘价,并在库存数据前维持 102 附近。
  • 关键价位: 102.31 / 102.11 / 101.05 / 100.56 / 98.67。
  • 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 CL 接受在 102.31 上方,且库存数据没有立刻反转该突破,那么偏向延续。如果 102.31 受阻且 102.11 失守,则预期向 101.05 均值回归。
  • 20:00–23:00(if-then): 库存反应后,只有高于 102.11 才偏向延续;若守不住 101.05,晚盘转为向 100.56 的均值回归/下行延续。
  • 失效条件: 接受在 100.56 下方,偏多观点失效。

GC — 计划

  • 偏向: 4,692.30 上方中性偏多,但 DXY 偏强意味着黄金需要 PPI 后的利率/美元确认。
  • 关键价位: 4,723.10 / 4,704.50 / 4,704.20 / 4,692.30 / 4,677.60。
  • 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 PPI 后 GC 重新收复并接受在 4,723.10 上方,那么偏向延续。如果在 4,723.10 下方受阻并跌破 4,692.30,则预期回落至 4,677.60。
  • 20:00–23:00(if-then): 只有在 DXY/利率没有继续上行的情况下,站在 4,704.50 上方才偏向晚盘延续;低于 4,692.30 则转向均值回归/下行延续。
  • 失效条件: 持续接受在 4,677.60 下方,偏多观点失效。

执行检查清单(今天)

  • 08:30 PPI 前不要重仓;等待接受确认,而不是追第一根尖刺。
  • 对 NQ/ES,若跌回隔夜开盘价下方并无法收复,说明盘前多头可能被套。
  • 对 CL,要把 102.31 的技术突破和 10:30 库存反应分开处理;如果库存马上反向,不要追多。
  • 对 GC,要确认 DXY 和利率:如果美元/收益率更强,即使黄金先冲高,多头质量也会下降。
  • 晚盘时段:只有日盘触发位在现金盘收盘后仍成立,才交易延续;否则默认按均值回归处理。
