Nvidia reports earnings Wednesday and a huge swath of the market moves with it. At the same time, the government is failing to hold down long-term interest rates — a second, slower-moving pressure on expensive tech stocks.

## Idea

Nvidia's earnings are the biggest single event of the week, and because so many companies are tied to the AI theme it represents, the reaction tends to be large and market-wide. Layered on top of that, the Treasury's attempts to calm the bond market are failing — long-term rates keep pushing higher, which historically makes investors pay less for high-priced growth stocks. When a big earnings shock and rising rates hit at the same time, prices tend to swing hard in one direction or the other. Rather than guessing the direction, this trade buys the expectation of a big move itself, profiting whether Nvidia soars or slumps.
