New York Empire State Manufacturing Release Affect on Oil

A “Terrible” New York Empire State Manufacturing Release: Tyler Richey Quoted in MarketWatch on MSN


Oil prices finish lower as U.S. crude supplies mark a 2-week climb of more than 17 million barrels

WTI crude-oil futures had been trading lower ahead of the inventory data as investors digested a “terrible” New York Empire State Manufacturing release, said Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research.

The economic data “poured some cold water on soft economic landing hopes, while the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has yet to have a meaningful impact on the global oil markets,” he told MarketWatch.

“As such, the fear-bid in oil has been slowly but steadily unwinding over the last month,” he said.

Risks Are Skewed To The Upside

Risks Are Skewed To The Upside: Tyler Richey Quoted in Morningstar


U.S. oil prices give up gains to finish flat ahead of government data on crude supplies

Still, “based on the risk-on tone in equity markets so far in November amid soft landing hopes. Risks are skewed to the upside into the end of the week. Pending good consumer demand readings for refined products in the EIA data,” he told MarketWatch.

“It seems like a combination of the less optimistic demand outlook in the IEA’s monthly outlook report and trader positioning into a double dose of weekly EIA data releases Wednesday led to oil to come off session’s price highs, said Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research.

The EIA report will include supply data covering two weeks — for the weeks ended Nov. 3 and Nov. 10 — after a planned systems upgrade led the EIA to delay last week’s report releases.

Investors are “searching for ‘what’s next’ and that could be either 1) A growth scare or 2) A resumption of the soft landing and disinflation narrative that push stocks higher this summer,” Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research, said in a note. “We will all find out together via the data.”

Important To Watch The S&P 500 Index’s Support Zone

there’s no way The Fed Can Get Dovish: Tom Essaye Quoted in MarketWatch on MSN


Fed day is here. Here are important technical levels to watch for stocks, bonds, and VIX

It is important to watch the S&P500 index’s support zone from 4,050 to 4,170, where the index spent most of April and May, according to Tom Essaye, founder and president of Sevens Report Research. 
On the other hand, “if policy makers deliver a dovish message and signal the hiking cycle is indeed ‘over’ then a relief rally could see stocks rise rapidly back towards the October highs,” according to Essaye.
The first important technical resistance level to watch is 4,225, while beyond that, investors should keep an eye on the level of 4,330, where the index saw a mid-October reversal. For the 2023 stock market rally to resume, the S&P 500 has to beat its October high of 4,377, Essaye wrote. 
“There is growing evidence that the VIX may be forming a near-term top as the ‘fear gauge’ did not close at new October highs last week despite the S&P 500 falling to new multi -month lows,” Essaye wrote.

Tighter Financial Conditions

Tighter Financial Conditions: Tyler Richey Quoted in MarketWatch on MSN


Oil prices finish lower with concerns of an economic slowdown raising prospects for a supply surplus

The initial drop in oil upon the release of the Fed decision “seemed to be in reaction to the addition of the phrase ‘tighter financial conditions’ for households and businesses,” Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research told MarketWatch. The added wording “implies demand is likely to suffer in the near-to-medium term.”
“With longer-term demand expectations fading with the latest string of disappointing global economic reports we received this week, there is growing concern the physical markets will tip into a surplus in the months or quarter ahead,” said Richey.

The Longer-Term Outlook For Oil

The Longer-Term Outlook For Oil: Tyler Richey Quoted in Morningstar


Oil futures give up early gains to finish lower

The longer-term outlook for oil remains much less certain with a significant increase in U.S. oil production “dulling the effects of the OPEC+ output cuts led by Saudi Arabia and Russia,” said Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research.

“With longer-term demand expectations fading with the latest string of disappointing global economic reports we received this week, there is growing concern the physical markets will tip into a surplus in the months or quarter ahead.”

Oil Futures Briefly Plunged To New Session Lows

Oil Futures Briefly Plunged To New Session Lows: Tyler Richey Quoted in Morningstar


Oil prices mark first gain in 4 sessions as risks of market disruptions in the Middle East remain

Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, pointed out that during Wednesday’s session, oil futures briefly plunged to new session lows after a preliminary news headline crossed the wires about Israel agreeing to delay a ground invasion of Gaza, but reports then said the provided reason for the delay was that the Israeli military was awaiting the arrival of U.S. missile support.

All of that “suggests an invasion is still imminent — just not right at this moment,” Richey said.

An implied measure of consumer gasoline demand, known as total motor gasoline supplied, was “largely steady with its smoother four-week moving average rising to a more-than-one-month-high,” said Sevens Report’s Richey. “That firming demand metric amid an unexpected drop in refinery runs last week is likely to result in some near-term pressure on supply, which is bullish for energy prices.”

Utilities, Staples and Healthcare

Utilities, Staples and Healthcare: Tom Essaye Quoted in Morningstar


Defensive stocks have traded poorly this year, but this strategist says they are in a sweet spot | Morningstar

A ‘growth scare’ will push Treasury yields lower and increase demand for safe-haven assets in equities: Sevens Report Research

U.S. stocks in the underperforming defensive sectors may be due for a comeback in the coming months as fears of an economic slowdown will push Treasury yields lower and increase demand for safe-haven assets in equities, according to Sevens Report Research.

“I do believe that we will have an economic growth scare in the coming months. That doesn’t mean I’m saying we’ll have a recession, but I do believe we have a growth scare looming and as such, I will begin to ‘nibble’ on utilities, staples and healthcare on the long side starting today, and I’ll rotate out of cyclicals as they’ve benefitted from solid growth and higher rates,” said Tom Essaye, the founder and the president of Sevens Report Research, in a Tuesday note.

Rising Geopolitical Tensions

Rising Geopolitical Tensions: Tom Essaye Quoted in Morningstar


Dow, S&P 500 flip positive to start week after Hamas attacks Israel

The attack by Hamas on Israel raised fears of a broader conflict, sending crude prices jumping. And spurring haven-related support for gold, the dollar and U.S. Treasury futures. The cash Treasury market is closed for the Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples Day holiday.

“The human tragedy and geopolitical implications aside, from a market standpoint the attack matters because rising geopolitical tensions mean higher oil prices and the higher oil goes, the stronger the additional headwind on stocks and bonds,” said Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research, in a Monday note.

High Yield Debt Spreads – Sevens Report Co-Editor Quoted

High yield debt spreads: Sevens Report Analysts Quoted in MarketWatch


This credit gauge shows investors still have risk appetite, despite recession fears

“High yield debt spreads are still not showing any degree of concern for either default or economic risk right now, and that supports the case for continued strength in risk assets in the near-to-medium term, despite lingering recession concerns based on the inverted yield curve,” Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, wrote in a recent note.
