A Structured View of Market Health for Options Traders - 12/05/25

U.S. equities made another positive move on Friday, with the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq 100 all closing at multi-week highs. This confirms an ongoing upward trend, supported by seasonal factors, a broad range of strong earnings, and favorable inflation data.

The Core PCE print matched expectations, while consumer inflation expectations fell to their lowest point in 11 months. This strong signal suggests that the disinflation trend is continuing.

Meanwhile, the volatility in the front-end market is decreasing, and the VIX term structure remains firmly in contango. These are positive indicators for income traders.
