1pm update - oil and energy

USO daily

XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $73.19, helped by earlier weakening in the dollar.

XLE: energy stocks are very significantly higher, helped with oil $73s. I'd keep in mind the monthly 10MA (mid $83s), until its cleared above, I'll see the sector as m/t broken.

notable stock: OXY


FPE 10s. Y 1.2%. No doubt, Berkshire will be looking to add on ALL cooling waves this summer.

notable stock: DVN


FPE 7s... Y 9.2%... rather better than a US 10yr bond.

Weak leaning chop. Yes, tomorrow is a Thursday, which will inherently favour the bears, but I'm largely dismissive of it, as the 4300s appear a near term eventuality. At best... 4241/21 Thurs/Friday, before leaning upward into next Wednesday's Fed.
