A_Pobedimskiy/iStock via Getty Images The semiconductor sector has entered a rare and historically overbought position. The sharp advance appears to be driven by an options condition known as a gamma squeeze, which occurs when rising stock prices, driven by aggressive call buying, force market makers to buy even more shares, pushing the stock price even higher. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index ( SOX ) can trace its origins back to 1994, which gives us some insight into just how far this index has extended and, more importantly, how it compares to other extremely overextended periods. Overbought Technicals Currently, the index is more than 50% above its 200-day moving average, something it hasn't seen happen in more than 25 years. The last time the index was this far above its 200-day moving average was back in 2000. TradingView Additionally, the index has fired off a rare signal, with the price closing above its upper Bollinger band and a relative strength index above 80. This has only happened a handful of times since 2017, and most of the time it has occurred near the end of a rally. Since then, the index has either traded sideways in a long period of consolidation or given back most of its gains. TradingView The weekly chart is showing a similar pattern, and it too has triggered only a handful of times. Each time, it came towards the end of a move higher and the blow-off top phase, with big, sharp pullbacks that followed. In 1995 and 2000 it led to big pullbacks that eventually erased nearly the entire rally phase. In 2017, the sector traded sideways for nearly 2 years. TradingView These conditions do not suggest that the index can't go higher in the short term, but history would tell us that the move may be closer to the end than the beginning at this point. Gamma Squeezes It is also fairly clear what has been driving these overbought conditions at the index level: aggressive call buying is creating a gamma squeeze across several stocks, such as Micron ( MU ...

James O'Neil Hawaiian Electric Industries ( HE ) declined as much as 9% earlier on Monday after it posted a soft first-quarter print and guided higher operations and maintenance (O&M) costs for the full year. The stock was down 6.78% to $13.83 during mid-day trading. The Hawaii-based electricity supplier posted earnings per share of $0.18, missing estimates by $0.10. Revenue came in at $746.45M. The company’s utility division, Hawaiian Electric, posted Q1 net income of $35M, representing a 27% Y/Y decline. It attributed the decrease in net income to higher O&M (operations and maintenance) costs of $19M, $5M in higher interest expense, and $2M in higher depreciation expense. For the full year, Hawaiian Electric expects O&M expense, excluding pension, to “significantly outpace inflation”. This is due to higher insurance premiums, storm response expenses related to severe weather in February and March, and higher IT-related costs to improve cyber defenses, among others. The stock has moved almost in tandem with the wider markets, gaining a little over 10% in the year so far. The S&P was up 8% for the same period.

Chile’s new right-wing government is signaling an overhaul of Codelco ’s corporate governance to ensure greater scrutiny of decision making at the heavily indebted state copper giant. “We have governance problems there that need to be tackled,” Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz said in a weekend interview from New York. “We need to have more transparency.” The administration of President José Antonio Kast is looking to take a more profit-driven approach to Codelco after delays, missteps and cost overruns at major projects saw production drop and debt surge. While Quiroz didn’t elaborate on changes, he pointed to checks and balances to better control the company’s sprawling operations. A 2009 governance reform was designed to reduce political interference and boost stability at Codelco. But analysts, including those at prominent think tank Cesco, say the company has suffered from high management turnover and an overly centralized structure, with results reported mostly at the corporate level rather than by division. Cesco has recommended looking into whether Codelco should move toward a holding-company model with more autonomous divisions to improve accountability. To be sure, outgoing Chairman Maximo Pacheco says the company has already adopted a stronger focus on capital discipline and operational stability, adding that high debt is largely the result of having to catchup after decades of underinvestment and the fact it hands over its profits and 10% of its revenue to the government. Read More: New Chile Leader Faces Codelco Dilemma: Dividends or Debt Relief Quiroz raised concern over Chile’s over-reliance on copper — it makes up about half of national exports — adding the government needs to “seriously think” about Codelco’s future role.
