The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) is extending this morning's move higher, up 213 points, after a mild consumer price index (CPI) reading. Walt Disney (DIS) is giving the blue-chip benchmark a boost as well, after news the entertainment giant will up its prices on ad-free Disney+ subscriptions. The S&P 500 Index (SPX) and Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) are also in the black, as oil prices fall from yesterday's 2023 highs. 

Options traders are blasting Plug Power Inc (Nasdaq: PLUG) today, as increased costs and operating expenses weigh on the company's margins.

Yeti Holdings Inc (NYSE: YETI) is trading at its highest level since February, up 21.2% to trade at $47.94 at last glance, after the company's strong second-quarter results and forecast, after which Jefferies lifted its price target to $60 from $57. Former pressure at the $45 level appears to have been flipped into support, with stock now sitting firmly above its 320-day moving average as well. Year-to-date, the equity is up 15.8%. 

On the other hand, Magnite Inc (Nasdaq: MGNI) is at the bottom of the Nasdaq today, despite better-than-expected second-quarter results, after the company's dismal full-year forecast.
