Summary

A positive open, but the gains are distinctly shaky, with reversal candles all over the place. I’m still inclined to see net daily gains.


notable stock: MRNA

Momentum turned positive yesterday, set to build into next week. Clearly, yesterday’s mandate announcements are helping.

**** ******  > ‘Gene Therapy’, which remains an illegal term on Twitter. I can think of some other terms also for **** ****** .

notable energy: OXY

Occidental higher with the main market, and especially helped with WTIC $69s. Soft target for OXY remains 31/32s.

notable steel: X

US Steel opens positive, for what is m/t bullish anyway. Multi-week price structure is a big bull flag.

notable miner: FCX

Freeport is higher, with copper $4.43. A break above upper trend appears due late today or next week. I hold.
