XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $53.26… partly helped by Goldman touting the $65s, but also on increased expectations of tighter supply and increased demand. Yours truly holds to big target of the 65/66s.

XLE: energy stocks powering upward… helped by WTIC $53s.

notable stock: SLB

Schlumberger higher with the sector. First target 28/39s. Secondary of 38/39s will likely sync with WTIC 65/66s.

A sporadic mini washout to 3776, but that is still 12pts shy of tagging orange gap… which remains a price magnet.
