Summary

All else being equal… they’ll pin the SPX around the current 6K.
The only concern… a sporadic Israel/Iran video, and/or Trump comments.


notable energy: LEU

New hist’ high. Even the crazy bold will NOT be chasing at this time/price.
$110M… contract from the DoE.

notable weakness: LMT

Arguably a case of ‘buy on all weakness’.
A break >200dma can be expected

notable car: TSLA

Wedbush, outperform, $500
An opex pin around $325 would be most natural.

notable arms: SWBI

EPS 20cents vs 23est. Rev’ y/y -11.5% to $140.8M vs 152.4est. A double miss. The drop in annual sales is especially ugly.

Note how the stock settled Wed’ at the 200dma… and now its broken lower, with momo having turned negative.
