AIEA: l'Ucraina ha informato che la gestione della centrale nucleare di Zaporizhzhya è attualmente agli ordini del comandante delle forze russe che la scorsa settimana ha preso il controllo del sito.

Nonfarm-payrolls for June showed a strong gain of 850K on Friday, but there appeared to be enough concerns to keep the Fed from tapering its bond purchases for the time being. Oil prices hitting fresh multi-year highs after the OPEC+ meeting being postponed means no oil production increase agreement as the UAE position is unchanged and the OPEC+ JMMC co-chairs need more time discuss the UAE’s position. WTI crude futures surge above $76.50 to highest since October 2018. Stocks posted strong gains again last week as the Nasdaq led, posting a weekly gain of 1.9%, followed by the S&P up 1.6% and the Dow trailing, but still up 1%. Rates fell following payrolls, with the 10-year Treasury yield off 5 basis points to 1.43%.

PlayAGS ($AGS) files to sell 8.21M shares of common stock for holders Energy, Industrials and Materials Crude oil prices advanced a sixth straight week on Friday while the dispute among OPEC+ ministers over plans to further ease production curbs dragged on at the alliance’s full meeting today. Negotiations resumed on Monday after last week ended without a deal, with the United Arab Emirates still blocking a proposal to increase supply. Energy edged lower last week, -0.8%, after leading the S&P sector standings with a 6.6% jump last week. Brent crude oil rises above $77/bbl for the first time since 2018 after OPEC+ fails to reach a production deal, further squeezing an already tight oil market and raising concerns over inflation. With the United Arab Emirates continuing to block an agreement, today’s planned OPEC+ meeting has been called off with no new suggested date for the next gathering, which in effect leaves the group’s current production limits in place Patterson-UTI Energy ($PTEN) agrees to acquire Pioneer Energy Services for ~$295M in cash and stock, which includes the retirement of all of Pioneer’s debt; says it will issue as many as 26.3M common shares and pay $30M of cash.

Stock averages flirted with record highs on Tuesday, as the S&P neared but could not hold its early gains (ended Tuesday at 4,227, just off its closing high on May 7 of 4,232) while the Russell 2000 neared its all-time best close as investors appear wary ahead of inflation data due on Thursday in the form of consumer prices (CPI). Consumer discretionary and energy were the best performing major S&P 500 sectors on the day, while utilities were the weakest group. A lack of clear market catalysts kept institutional investors on the sidelines, while retail traders fueled the ongoing meme stocks rally with more volatility from the likes of AMC, GME, BBBY, WKHS, BB, with new names such as CLOV and WEN added to the fray. Fear remains non-existent in the market as the CBOE volatility index (VIX) touched its lowest level in over a year. It appears for the time being the “meme stocks” are taking over from crypto as the place to be as Bitcoin prices slid. Oil prices inch higher with WTI crude above $70 per barrel for the first time since October 2018 and Bitcoin rebounds.

On a monthly basis, the PPI rose 1.6%, up from a 0.9 uptick in April. China’s consumer price index (CPI) rose 1.3% in May in annual terms, the biggest increase in eight months.

Alright so what we have seen over the past week has been really interesting, we got a massive sell off which killed a lot of names but it didn't harm others. The overall $SPY/SPX dropped pulling growth down further with it and the tech sector was destroyed, Nasdaq cried that's for sure. The tech breadth was at 7 which was a huge buy sign, and when I took a look at which tech names got beat up it wasn't really the big ones, they still held value well and if anything have amazing potential to the upside ($MSFT, FB etc). So what is going on? I mentioned its cyclical, right now growth is dead and value reigns supreme. If you want to know how to get rich in the market or make the right decisions its being able to switch from value and growth when the cycle is upon. Right now value is elite and is reigning supreme, the worst thing you can do is sell your garbage growth and switch to value, value is still going up and has a lot more room, from what it looks like but its also overextended and getting towards its last stride. There is a difference between garbage growth and good growth, you need conviction in your plays. So I liked this dip for a lot of "value x growth names" ones with conviction. A lot of value didn't manage to dip much but really good tech did and we mention names we were hunting. I think there is a lot of potential in large tech names that we all know, FB & $MSFT specifically, also $AAPL. we did well to pick up $SPY calls but longer term calls on these 3 tech names could pay well. I liked commons on them as well. Other names you should watch carefully are SQ, PYPL, PTON, AXP, FCX, DIS, BA, SE, PINS, $TWTR, ETSY, APPS & XOM ( I still like reopening and oil for the year as we are far from the potential) These are more or less growth names that have been battered and have a lot of potential, all of which are on the excel sheet pinned, if you want to know what we're in its in the list. There are ways to get into your conviction plays as well, if its beat up growth we need to flip the structure and that happens a few ways. I'll go into detail of what I want to see in another post just after this one. There are a lot of value names out there that you can add to your portfolio but I need to see more of a pullback at this point, so they're not that high of interest.
