USO daily

XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil cooled from $77.08 to $75.22. Set for a net weekly gain of around +3.0%. Set for a net 2021 gain of around +59%.

XLE: energy stocks seeing considerable chop, still set for a second consecutive net weekly gain. S/t vulnerable… if only 1-2 days.

*I hold OXY, SLB, RIG, KMI.
I’m looking to re-add to OXY & SLB, and buy back MRO and XOM next week, preferably with sp’4700.

notable stock: OXY

S/t vulnerable with oil and the main market, if only 1-2 days. I’d be a willing re-adder in the $27s.
