Jensen Huang Resigns: $NVDA Falls, Kress Named Interim CEO | PreMarket Playbook + Cboe

Jensen Huang is out at Nvidia. The news broke live on today's PreMarket Playbook while Adam Mesh was mid-interview with Cboe's Henry Schwartz, and the market had to process it in real time. Adam opens with the reports that Nvidia's board was weighing a leadership change and the spy scandal pushing $NVDA lower premarket, then trades the headline live with $NVDA puts. Howard breaks down the $PLCE squeeze after its Chapter 11 filing, low-float movers $LUNR and $FRMI, Strategy's ($MSTR) removal from MSCI indexes, and whether $NVDA is a buy near $155–$160 while $AMD and $AVGO catch bids. Henry Schwartz, VP of Derivatives Market Intelligence at Cboe, covers Cboe's new 7:30 a.m. ET options session, heavy $NVDA put volume, Cboe's corporate KPI prediction markets, record options volume after the PDT repeal, after-hours assignment risk, and how binary options work. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get ahead of the opening bell with the stocks, news, and catalysts moving the market today, plus live trading and real-time analysis!
