10am update – starting positive

US equities begin the week on a positive note, as the market was s/t oversold. SPX is still struggling to clear the hourly 10MA. WTIC printed $70.84.

Summary

Well… suffice to note, all those weekend posters calling for an opening Monday drop are already pretty annoyed. Might we yet test the 50dma? Sure… but overall, its all still s/t noise, within a m/t super strong trend.


notable Dow component: AAPL

Increasing chatter ahead of Tuesday’s iPhone13 launch

notable weakness: NFLX

GS ‘neutral to $590s’… which isn’t helping. Momentum threatens to turn negative. Maybe just a back test of old resistance.

notable energy: OXY

Energy stocks rebounding after a difficult Friday. Soft target 31/32s, and that is clearly a fair way up.

notable miner: FCX

Freeport struggling with copper -5cents to $4.40. Its annoying… but I ain’t selling.

Yours truly received an ‘interesting letter’ just earlier, but perhaps more on that in AH.
