Technical Chart of the Day

Energy commodity and equity prices came under technical pressure yesterday. On a seasonal basis, favourable seasonal influences traditionally peak either just before or just after the U.S. Memorial Day holiday. Technicals have turned sharply negative. Trader rumors suggest that the OPEC + nations are unlikely to reduce quotas when they meet this weekend. Indeed, one of its largest members, Russia is widely rumored to be cheating (i.e. producing more that its quota).

Trust levels between members are believed to be low. Transportation equities and related ETFs are benefitting.
