Glossary term
Midday 10
Closelook’s intraday briefing, published at 12:30 Eastern time on US trading days: ten points on the first three hours of the session — who is up, who is down, which of the morning’s levels held — with the same what/if/why/then pattern as the Morning 10 and its own Line 11.

What it means
The Midday 10 is the second daily format. It takes the Morning 10’s levels into the live session: which held, which broke, what the sort of the day looks like at the half — and it adds the data released at 08:30 and 10:00 Eastern that the morning edition could not have. Points are written from intraday quotes and say so; nothing is scored on them. The headline again names the area first.
It is published at the US midday because that is when the day’s character is usually set and there is still a session left to act in.
Why it matters for the AI trade
The AI trade’s intraday reversals are the ones that matter most: the after-hours reaction to a print that is undone by noon, the futures sale that the cash session refuses. On 14 September 2026 the Midday 10 recorded the split — chips −5%, software +4.5%, security +12% to 15%, the ten-year at 5% — three hours before the close confirmed it, and named the two prints, Oracle and Adobe, that would be scored the next evening.
How Closelook uses it
Editions live at /midday-10/ with a dated permalink; the Morning 10 precedes it and the print record scores the closes it anticipates. Midday quotes are never used for scoring.
Common questions
- When is the Midday 10 published?
- 12:30 Eastern time — 18:30 Berlin in summer — on US trading days, from live intraday quotes.
- How is it different from the Morning 10?
- The Morning 10 sets the day’s levels from closes and overnight markets; the Midday 10 reports which of them held in the live session and adds the morning’s data releases. Same pattern, different clock.
- Are midday prices used for the print record?
- No. The record scores closes only. Midday prices are reported with the time attached and treated as provisional.
