The closing bell on Thursday, April 9th, 2026, rings in a green session as geopolitical headlines trigger a massive relief rally across the equity markets. On today's Hot Options Report, we break down a high-volume session where over 617,000 contracts were required just to crack the Top 10.
We dive deep into the massive 33% five-day run for Intel (INTC) and a potential "grand slam" exit in the June 40 calls. Meanwhile, Micron (MU) and AMD continue their wild journeys, and Tesla (TSLA) bulls finally find a foothold.
