This comes after they pushed the Saudi-led cartel for more production one month ago.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The announcement comes after the White House said it would not refill the SPR this year and, according to Bloomberg, has called OPEC\u2019s move \u201cill-advised\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open Interest in the CME\u2019s benchmark WTI contract hit a record 2.7 million contracts in 2018. Speculation amid Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine helped OI reach 2.5 million last year, but indirection steadily eroded it to below 1.5 million through yearend, which appears to be the lowest since 2012. OI has rebounded this year, reaching 1.8 million, and a narrative of OPEC+ support reinvigorates fresh speculation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Oil market news marks the start of a volatile week, highlighted by ISM data and culminating with Nonfarm Payrolls Friday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI for March is due at 9:00 am CT and follows the final SPGI Manufacturing PMI at 8:45 am CT.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fed Governor Cook is on the calendar for 3:15 am CT. Traders must keep an ear to the ground for added Fed speak and certainly anything pointing to the impact of higher Oil prices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>According to the CME\u2019s FedWatch Tool, the odds of a 25bps rate hike at the Fed\u2019s May 3<sup>rd<\/sup> policy meeting have risen from 48.4% on Friday to 58.3% today, with the remainder being no move.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Fed\u2019s preferred inflation indicator, the Core PCE Index, came in softer than expected on Friday and helped stoke a risk-on environment through the final minutes of quarter-end.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>February Core PCE was 4.6% y\/y versus 4.7% expected, and 4.7% in January, and +0.3% m\/m versus +0.4% expected, and down from +0.5% in January.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headline PCE was +5.0% y\/y, versus 5.1% expected and down from 5.3% in January, and +0.3% m\/m, versus +0.5% expected and down from +0.6% in January.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal Income data topped expectations at +0.3% versus +0.3%, but was down from +0.6% in January.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal Spending missed at +0.2% versus +0.3% and down from +2.0% in January.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal Consumption fell by -0.1%, versus expectations of flat, and won from +1.5% in January.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This further confirms the CPI data earlier in the month, the trend from recent PPI data, and sets the stage for a continued slowing of inflations due to broadly tighter financial conditions and higher base comparisons that begin in March.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-e-mini-s-p-june-e-mini-nq-june\"><strong>E-mini S&amp;P (June) \/ E-mini NQ (June)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>S&amp;P, yesterday\u2019s close: Settled at 4137.75, up 57.75 on Friday and 136.50 on the week<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NQ, yesterday\u2019s close: Settled at 13,301.75, up 219.75 on Friday and 411.50 on the week<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The move in Oil prices has taken the wind out of the tech rally to start the quarter.
