$C Clearly, the market was positioned to hit this one. Great report, should and will be higher. This thing could potentially double from here over the next 24 months if the Fed remains on hold.

Citi cut its price target for Hermès to €1,540 from €1,689 while maintaining a Neutral rating, citing continued weak demand in China and a softer environment in France. Ahead of the luxury group’s third-quarter sales report, Citi lowered its constant-currency growth estimate for leather goods in the second half by 0.5 percentage point, but still expects double-digit growth of 10% in the third quarter and 11% in the fourth, supported by volume growth of about 6%. Growth in non-leather goods was reduced to 3% from 4% for the second half, reflecting greater weakness in aspirational categories during the summer. Citi also cut its group sales forecasts for 2026, 2027 and 2028 by about 0.5%. It now expects 2026 constant-currency sales growth of 6.4%, down from 6.8%, after Hermès grew 6.1% in the first half. With gross-margin and operating-cost assumptions largely unchanged, Citi reduced its operating-profit and EPS estimates for the three years by about 1%. $C

$C Hit resistance at the 10 week, 30 week and 50 day SMA. IMO volumes will be light because of CPI on tap tomorrow. Big banks are more exposed to inflation. Great quarter and I was interested in buying it, but I don't like buying stocks below their 30 week unless there is an overwhelming justification. Not holding Bullish

$C Saw some unusual flow yesterday and bounced nicely off of the 200dma 10/16 $123 Calls saw $1.19 Million in calls 10/30 $125 Calls saw $151K in Calls (both confirmed by open interest!) Could see a move to $130 today or Monday, with support sitting at $125 (basically 200dma)

Top 5 swing setups from options flow $C — Probably the cleanest near-term setup. Near-ATM call buying, good timing and bullish confirmation across the banks ahead of earnings. $BHP — 3 calls bought, near ATM, solid premium and very little opposing flow. One of the cleanest standalone structures on the tape. $LITE — Huge call-buying concentration with strong 7-day confirmation. Stock already moved hard, so I’d be more selective with entry, but the flow is difficult to ignore. $CCL — Clean ATM December call buying and positive recent flow. Looks more like post-earnings continuation than a fresh event bet. $IOT — $1M+ call buy, only ~5% OTM with enough time to work. Smaller signal than the names above, but structurally very clean.

$C Oddly, and it feels weird saying this, Citi, of all the banks is best positioned to outperform in this environment. They have the cash to really go after the A-level debt. The market's impulse to put Citi on the short side of the contra trade is flat out wrong. This is an excellent opportunity to put that cash to work, lend at higher rates out 5 years and really clean up when the fed the ultimately cuts rates. Get that ROE ROE above 15. Plus, I'm sure they're having a record quarter on the FICC desk.

Banks led by Citigroup have attracted more than $10 billion in investor orders for a leveraged-loan offering supporting Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The demand covers a $6.5 billion loan tranche, while a €1 billion tranche has drawn roughly €1.35 billion in orders, according to people familiar with the matter. Lenders are reportedly considering moving up the investor commitment deadline, currently scheduled for Wednesday, as demand exceeds the amount being offered. The loans are part of a $52 billion financing package for the transaction, the largest M&A financing package of 2026, which also includes $32 billion of investment-grade debt and the equivalent of $12.4 billion in high-yield bonds. Citigroup, Bank of America and Apollo Global Management arranged the financing earlier this year. The leveraged loans are being offered at spreads of up to 3 percentage points over benchmark rates and at 99.5 cents on the dollar. $C $BAC $APO $PSKY $WBD

$C is partnering with $COIN to integrate stablecoin payments into the traditional banking system for institutional clients. This is a significant development for both institutional adoption and blockchain infrastructure.

$C The FED refused to hike rates on Biden until mid-2022 and CPI had already passed 8% while repeating the Biden admin's "transitory" term which obviously was not true. The FED cut rates 3X for the Biden admin at the 2024 elections including a jumbo 50 basis points in SEP to juice the economy and markets for the incumbents. Notably, core CPI was 2.4% in that SEP 2024 jumbo cut EXACTLY where it is today. If the FED hikes rates just before the midterms on Trump at the exact same core CPI number that they jumbo cut for Harris, then the evidence is 100% conclusive that the FED is an arm of the Democrat party and will act against the interest of the American people to help Democrats particularly at election time when it was once considered taboo to change policy. This doesn't even account for the fact that members of the FOMC donate over 80% to the Democrat party with their political contributions. If the FED hikes rates, should the Trump admin dissolve the Democrat run FED?

$C is kept down by two huge put blocks at 120, this week (almost 30k) and next week 10.6k. Other than these will go up
