USO daily

XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $105.42, if cooling back a little. Giant psy’ $100 is broadly holding, as energy prices remain ‘sustainably high’.

XLE: energy stocks seeing moderate chop, if currently leaning on the weaker side. A net weekly decline doesn’t negate the m/t trend.

notable stock: KMI

Earnings were fine, and the stock justly broke a new multi-year high.

Equities: sp’60min

S/t momentum has already turned negative, with the opening gap fully filled. In theory… we should lean weak across the afternoon, but I’d not expect anything under the lower bollinger – currently around 4401, which is rapidly rising.
