XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $100.89, if recovering to the $103/104s. M/t bullish… unless the 200dma is lost… and that is currently in the $93/92s.

XLE: energy stocks lower with the main market, and not helped by oil… esp’ in early morning. I’d note the legacy green upside gap.

*I hold long the sector via SLB, KMI, RIG, CHPT
I should pick up OXY, which might be bought out by Berkshire this summer.

notable stock: OXY

Reflective of the sector. I will probably buy back this Wed’

notable stock: KMI

Recent cooling from $20s to $16s, and I’m fine to be back onboard from the $16s.

Equities: sp’60min

S/t momentum is on the low side, as the setup favours a bounce… ahead of Wednesday’s CPI.
