$Micro WTI Crude Oil - main 2304(MCLmain)$ Considering how strong energy prices ended the previous week, this was just a horrible week. Red across the board.WTI needs to hold the $74 area or there is a high chance it goes below $70. A lot will depend on tmr's NFP numbers and how the market reacts, but as of now, futures look bad.Most food and energy-related commodities are down significantly y/y.Commodity price changes over the last year...Sugar: +11%US CPI: +6.4%Gold: -8%Soybeans: -10%Copper: -13%Gasoline: -17%Corn: -19%Heating Oil: -19%Coffee: -22%Silver: -23%Brent Crude: -25%Zinc: -26%WTI Crude: -29%Cotton: -30%Wheat: -36%Natural Gas: -45%Lumber: -61%Grains and Livestock futures have been mostly tanking YTD.https://twitter.com/Gugo907/stat

Historically, Q4 is still pretty strong months for total product demand
Historically, October, November, and December are still pretty strong months for total product demand. See the breakdowns of each category below:October is the last month for relatively strong motor gasoline demand. Historically, the next 6 months after October see on average 350k bbls/d of lower gasoline demand.Distillates, on the other hand, have entered the strongest demand season, where historically over the next 6 months the average demand is ~ 200k bbls/d higher than compared to Spring and Summer.After the high summer travel season, the demand for jet fuel will slow. However, historically the next 3 months still demonstrated a relatively strong demand.Lastly, as history shows the next 4/6 months will have the highest demand for other oils (including propane).Actual physical cuts requ
1.Dow$DJIA(DJIA)$ has been ripping for a few weeks now. Meanwhile, everything else has been performing worse.2.$S&P 500(.SPX)$ There is no such thing as the stock market, there are always sectors and stocks which are undervalued and overvalue. Guess what I am selling and buying at the moment :)3.$Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ What are the chances JP nukes VIX on Wednesday?https://twitter.com/Gugo907/status/1596168747751874561
Five out of the ten best performers have been down over 90% from their respective ATH
1.The S&P 500$S&P 500(.SPX)$ gained 5.5% today, its largest % increase since April 2020 and 15th largest since 1950. One year later the market has often been higher following these large daily spikes (22 out of 24 times) with an average return of +31%. The 2 exceptions: Sep 2008 & Jan 2001. The only US index that looks very bullish is Dow, but then again Dow is price-weighted with 30 stocks. SPX is what really matters and it is still a downtrend. It should break 4100 first then we can talk! Good day though :)Even with today's major rally, S&P 500 is down ~17.5% (~27.5% was the YTD low) and Nasdaq$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ is down ~29.5% (~37.8% was the YTD low) YTD.Everyone has a theory o
Buyback Stocks I Track: SU, CNQ, CVE, VET, IMO, CPG, MEG
These RBC price assumptions for 2022 are insane. For WTI$W&T Offshore(WTI)$ to average over $107 for the year, it has to average around ~ $125 for the remainder of this year. I don't think that's happening.CNQ$Canadian Natural Resources(CNQ)$ and $Suncor(SU)$ offer special divdend this year.And this is the money each company saves on dividends (annually) so far by buying back their shares. $Suncor(SU)$,$Cenovus(CVE)$,$Imperial
Analysis of Oil and Gas Stocks: CVE, CNQ,SU,VET,WTI
I think we all agree that energy earnings in general are a non-event. No matter how outstanding the results are:1-most already know it2-if WTI drops 2%, they gonna sell-offBrent-WTI$W&T Offshore Inc(WTI)$ spread keeps widening and trades at ~$9/bbl. Again, good for U.S. exports.To me out of all energy releases so far,CVE$Cenovus(CVE)$ was the most disappointing.CVE Cash flow estimatesTD agrees with me on CVE-CAPEX up twice now-FFO was a big miss-Shit tons of share issuanceI really don’t get the hate for WCP$Whitecap Resources, Inc.(SPGYF)$ .Updated WCP model with TP ~$21Cash flow comparison between&nbs
