📊 Oil and Data Guide Next Move

Good Morning Investors,

From a positioning and technical standpoint, the market remains fragile. Dip buying activity is present, but broader signals suggest a sustained period of weakness, marking one of the longest negative stretches since 2022. This implies that any near term rebound in small names may be tactical rather than the start of a durable recovery.

The environment remains highly reactive to macro inputs. Commodity strength and geopolitical risk are driving sector rotation, while uncertainty around rates and liquidity continues to pressure broader performance. Key catalysts to watch include oil price movement, labor market data, and signs of stress in private credit, all of which will shape the next directional move.
