Summary

Suffice to add… a real mess of a morning, but its to be expected… ahead of tomorrow’s CPI.

I’m inclined to see this crazy casino be net higher from current levels… by late next week. So… I’m open to early Wed’ downside, but I’d be a more comfortable buyer there, not least in anything energy related.


notable Dow component: MSFT

Morgan Stanley maintain ‘overweight’, 372>354.

notable weakness: OXY

Very tempting… and I can understand those scaling in across multiple days.

notable energy: SLB

Schlumberger holding up well to OXY.
No reason… it just happens that way sometimes.

notable Dow component: BA

I’m not aware of any news.

Time for a much needed lunch…
