    Physical market hasn't seen major downside yet - pullback is in futures. Key WTI technical level: close below $84.37 breaks succession of higher lows and suggests potential reversal. Next support at $75. Reversal could come from ceasefire holding AND shift from tight supplies to pricing in economic slowdown with potential flood of supplies. IEA may continue production increases, Saudi Arabia is question mark, demand destruction in Southeast Asia and Europe (Europe could run out of jet fuel in 6 weeks). Still many dynamics: summer driving season, dropping diesel/jet fuel/gasoline inventories in US, SPR releases being exported not refined domestically, US close to net exporter of crude.
    Provides detailed technical level and comprehensive fundamental factors affecting oil market, showing skepticism about simple bearish narrative.

    Pullback from light Q2 guidance AND co-founder leaving. Revenue beat ($12.25B vs $12.18B expected), up 16% YoY. Adjusted EPS $1.23 vs $0.76 expected but includes $2.8B Warner Bros Discovery termination benefit. Confident in Q3/Q4 operating margin rerating to hit 2026 goals. Content expensive, increasing prices (Spain, North America). Had good run from $75 lows, pullback expected with founder departure.
    Balances positive fundamentals with negative guidance and non-fundamental factor (founder departure).
  • AMD hit all-time high yesterday, up 7%. What's your take?

    Good technical setup: pullback/consolidation using 200-day MA as support, breakout above $223. Fundamental catalyst: CPUs becoming integral part of data centers for AI (AMD's strength vs Nvidia's GPU focus). Supported by TSMC commentary yesterday. Breakout above $260 suggests $320 next major resistance.
    Combines technical analysis with fundamental shift in AI infrastructure demand favoring CPUs.
  • Levels you're looking for today on S&P 500. Are we in for a pullback?
    Diane
  • Kevin Green
    Still call-side skew bullish. Yesterday more methodical move (rangebound then higher). 4-hour chart MACD cross concerning but not pullback yet. Upside level: 7085 (majority of flows). Downside: 7020. VIX 17.8 implying ~1.1% moves. Hard recipe to short: bullish semiconductors at all-time highs, software catching bid. Market overstretched, wouldn't be surprised to retest 100-day MA over next couple weeks.
    Acknowledges bullish technicals but warns of overextension and potential medium-term correction.
