USO daily

XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $95.40, but has seen some rather powerful cooling to $92.79, only to then swing to the upper $94s, on reports the Iran nuclear deal is off.

XLE: early gains… but swinging lower with WTIC, and back to net higher. Weekly momentum prone to turning positive next week.

notable stock: XOM

A new multi-week high… but pulling back.

notable stock: SLB

Higher with the sector. Today’s candle is a little spiky. Cyclically high, and the cautious will be such!

Equities: sp’60min

A little cooling, but we should hold the early low. Teal gap remains due.
