Up, up, and away has certainly been the theme for stocks all Spring. Actually, blast off is more like it. Nothing has stalled this mighty ascent. Tech Stocks continue to lead the charge higher. The Stock Market hasn’t cared about rising interest rates, high gas prices, nagging inflation nor a war in the Middle East. It just has not cared. It’s also caught so many by surprise...  The information an...

The widely anticipated Beijing summit has come and gone. There was pomp, circumstance, and a whole lot of handshakes. But there was very little in the way of meaningful action. There were no major breakthroughs. There were no confirmed deals. The result is seemingly more stability in the relationship of the 2 superpowers and the status quo for policies. In other words, they kicked the can down the...

Deal or no deal? The ceasefire is on or off? The situation is beyond confusing. The conflict in Iran has been head-spinning, and the price of Oil has reflected the volatile news flow. WTI fell below the $100 level. But it remains elevated in the mid $90s. The December contract is holding pretty firm just below $80. That suggests supplies should improve towards year-end. But that isn’t helping pric...

We are smack dab in the middle of Q1 Earnings Season...

The remarkable run this Spring continued as the Stock Market shook off the concerns surrounding the Middle East and hit fresh, all-time highs. The S&P surged in April as fast as it fell in March. These V-shaped moves have become quite familiar. It happened during Covid. That’s what went down last Spring around the tariff tantrum. That’s precisely what’s happened around the conflict in Iran. It...

Volatility continues. The Stock Market this Spring has behaved like few times in decades. Prices have moved ferociously, in both directions. Oil up, Oil down. The price of Oil has been driving all things Market-related ever since the conflict in Iran began. The damage is palpable. Market participants are trying to assess the impact of the developments in the Middle East and the energy markets. The...

Correction remains the theme on Wall Street as the price of Oil is seemingly dictating all. WTI is back at $100. The price action has been pretty simple: Higher Oil has forced higher yields and lower stock prices. It has blanketed the Global Market. The Market often ignores geopolitics. Not this one. The military conflict in Iran is impossible to ignore. The impact is being felt wide and far...  T...
