Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $81.63, if recovering to the mid $82s. Today’s weaker dollar is helping. Soft resistance 84/85. The middle east remains a monstrous threat, as a hyper spike >$100 is an eventuality.

XLE: energy stocks are choppy, if currently moderately higher. The June $86s look secure.
