📈📊Market Update💵📉

The Russell 2000 continued to roll over – $RUT tumbled 1.19% for the fourth straight session. The Dow and S&P 500 both pulled back from highs. Here is today’s heatmap:

Some stocks are going up in value.

Most stocks are not.

If there's been one theme that we keep seeing for most of the year, it's that.

Sure, some stocks are doing well. Most stocks aren't. (from JC Parets)

You can really see it in the Nasdaq Advance-Decline line, as it sits at new 8-month lows.

Some people don't understand market breadth.

I'd argue, most people don't.

Deterioration in participation doesn't mean "the market" is now going to fall.

The weaker breadth means that "the market" has already been falling. The Average stock performance and median performance will show you that. Also take a look down the cap scale to see this story.

Some stocks are going up.

Most are not.

Now that we realize reopening schools is going to be an absolute impending disaster. Better push out the prospects for work travel returning another 12 months or so. Cash flow is a real issue for the capital structures on some of these airlines.

💸Reformed Millennials - Post of The Week

Oil Is a Q4 - 2022 Q2 Story

I think it's pretty likely that we're range-bound for the next little while between 66 and 76 for WTI.

76 was the high back in 2018 and 66 was the high in 2019 and earlier this year.

We're right in-between.

And it's likely to stay that way for some time.

YOU LOVE TO SEE THE HYPOCRISY OUT OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY DOWN SOUTH:

President Joe Biden urged OPEC countries to reverse pandemic-era production cuts, calling it an essential step to make gasoline prices more affordable for Americans.

The president’s comments cappeded a series of actions taken Wednesday by his administration to address the rising cost of oil, as the White House eyes inflation as a potential threat to the strength of the economic recovery.

“I want to make sure that nothing stands in the way of oil-price declines leading to lower prices for consumers,” Biden said in remarks at the White House. He stopped short of specifying how fully or quickly the OPEC+ group should reverse output cuts.

Earlier Wednesday, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said in a statement that recent production increases by OPEC and its allies were “simply not enough.”

National Economic Council Director Brian Deese also asked Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan to use all available tools -- including monitoring prices, reviewing merger-and-acquisition activity and investigating market manipulation -- to stem price increases.

“Recently, we’ve seen the price that oil companies pay for a barrel of oil begin to fall, but the cost of gasoline at the pump for more American people hasn’t fallen. That’s not what you’d expect in a competitive market,” Biden said.
