How Geopolitics Affects Oil Stocks and Metal Stocks

Free daily updates at the website: https://secretedge.us

Why are oil-based stocks and metals the top-performing sectors?

Why based on Fundamentals

1. Global-wide demand outweighs supply.
2. Crude oil has pulled back but remains above ninety dollars per barrel. Two bullet points:

• The West has decided it will continue to buy Russian energy.
• Reports that Iran will begin delivering oil into the markets, which would increase supply.

3. Extended war in Ukraine may keep crude oil prices high

Math-based analytics for the oil sector

1. technical analysis points to higher oil prices
2. fundamentals point to higher oil prices
3. Members of https://secretedge.us get the inside story with techniques on trading the oil markets with a low risk / high return trade method

Will oil-based stocks climb higher?

Chevron broke out higher on Friday, despite crude oil prices declining. Why?

1. Higher oil prices will ensure higher profits.
2. Math-based analytics supports that oil continues in a sideways to higher trade pattern.
3. If Iran goes nuclear due to folly in the West to get more oil, how long will Israel permit Iran to create nukes? Expect tensions to increase due to Iran desiring nukes and Israel threatened with extinction by a radical Islamic state.
4. Chartists expect a prior resistance level to become a support level. Therefore, from a technical viewpoint, crude oil prices will continue to remain at higher levels, ensuring that oil companies remain profitable.
5. April Crude support at $80 per barrel
6. Cash Crude support at $84 per barrel

 Nations with policies that incite violence

1. Russia now stands at the top of the list.
2. China has revealed its intentions of taking control of Taiwan.
3. Iran wants nukes so it can destroy Israel. However, radical Islam will not stop at the destruction of Israel.

Metals as the top-most sector

Why?

1. The Russian invasion of Ukraine caused precious metals to skyrocket. But will precious
2. metals continue higher?
3. Math-based analytics isolates aluminum and nickel.
4. Geopolitics with the goal of the West to manufacture electric vehicles supports aluminum and nickel are likely better trade selections over precious metals.

Why FOMC will Increase Interest Rates

1. Inflation encourages the FOMC to raise interest rates on March 16, 2022, by a minimum of
2. 25 basis points.
3. Three members of the FOMC now lean to a rate hike of 50 basis points.

What is the condition of the general market?

After Russian troops invaded Ukraine, strong rallies on Thursday and Friday, February

24 – 25, 2022, may have caused a bottom in the markets. Will the bottom hold?

Conclusions for the February 28-March 4, 2022.

• The general market is in a sideways pattern.
• The top-performing sector with significant fundamentals in support:  Oil Based stocks and metals.
• The Bottom-performing sector with good fundamentals: remains with increasing interest rates.

How Geopolitics and Inflation affect the markets

Free daily updates at the website: https://secretedge.us

Why are oil-based stocks the top-performing sector?

U.S. claims that Russian Troops increased from 100,000 to about 190,000

Why Crude Oil prices could potentially fall

1. Iran may release oil which will cause price drops.
2. Russia pulls back from the Ukraine invasion by withdrawal
3. Oil supply to the global markets would increase from 2 to 3.5 million barrels per day

Why Oil Prices could Increase

1. Russia invades Ukraine, and then prices would rise.
2. The West will sanction Russian oil (removing 10 million barrels/day of oil from the world market)
3. Iran would not replace the loss of Russian oil (3.5 million barrels per day)
4. Best-case scenario would be the loss of 6 million barrels per day
5. Therefore, a significant increase in oil prices

Math-based analytics for the oil sector

1. Technical analysis points to higher oil prices
2. Fundamentals point to higher oil prices
3. Members of https://secretedge.us get the inside story with techniques on trading the oil markets with a low risk / high return trade method

Bottom-performing sector with Math-based analytics

1. PPI reported 9.7% year-over-year inflation on Tuesday, February 15, 2022
2. Retail Sales Report of 3.8% month-over-month versus consensus of 2.0%
3. Will FOMC raise rates as much as 50 basis points at the March 16 meeting?
4. People believing in 25 basis points also think there will be six or seven rate hikes ahead of us

Cause of current Inflation issues

1. Supply Chain is slowing down the production of goods.
2. Demand for materials is greater than the supply of goods.
3. US Government with Leftists gave lots of free money out, and the people responded by not working. As a result, lots of money chasing fewer goods. Socialism now the root cause of inflation.

The Disconnect between Oil Prices and Interest Rates

1. Increasing interest rates will not affect oil prices
2. Oil prices rise due to supply deficiency

Why FOMC will Increase Interest Rates

1. Politicians pushing for higher interest rates
2. FOMC will ignore geopolitical issues

Links between geopolitics and Increasing Interest Rates

1. Market forces
2. Geopolitics

Three scenarios for the markets week of February 22 - 25 2022Where are we?

1. general market continues in a sideways and bearish type pattern
2. Top-performing sector is oil based stocks
3. Bottom-performing sector is increasing interest rates

Making Better Financial Decisions for Feb. 14 - 18, 2022

In this podcast, a special section on "Do you know how to turn a losing trade into a winning trade?"

Have you considered how math-based analytics can help you make better financial decisions?

In this podcast, I include a unique presentation that helps answer the question: Do you know how to turn a losing trade into a winner?

Get free information at the website link: https://secretedge.us/top-performing-sector/

The Top-Performing Sector

The answer remains oil-based stocks. Why?

Solid fundamentals, and here is a quick summary:

1. Global-wide demand is much higher than supply.
2. The Biden administration has chosen to limit supply, which is the root cause of increasing oil prices. Under the Biden administration, we have these bullet points. (a) No permits for drilling oil in the Alaska Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. (b) Stopped building the Keystone pipeline in January 2021. (c) On election day, November 2020, oil prices began to rise. Why? Based on policies of the Democratic party.
3. Geopolitical tensions between Russia and the possibility of invading Ukraine. Nations now involved in this tension include Russia, Ukraine, China, European nations, the United States, and Canada.
4. This week, on Friday, February 11, the National Security Advisor, Jacob Sullivan, reported on the potential invasion of 100,000 troops near Ukraine. We also know that the Russian military is conducting military maneuvers. As a result, the markets became highly volatile.

How high will oil climb?

On Friday, crude oil prices climbed above $95 per barrel due to geopolitics and the presentation by the National Security Advisor.

Given the fundamentals and the math-based analytics, the oil stocks will continue to be the top-performing sector, perhaps for months or even longer.

The bottom-performing sector

We had shocking news delivered to us on Thursday, February 10, 2022, that the Consumer Price Index rose by 7.5 percent year over year. The report shocked the bond markets and the stock markets.

Consider the fundamentals for rising interest rates:

1. Inflation prices continue to increase across the board for almost everything.
2. Supply Chain is slowing down the production of goods.
3. Demand for materials is greater than the supply of goods.

What is the condition of the general market?

The Nasdaq has become somewhat bearish. However, this spike into the bearish region may be due to the geopolitical issue that Russia may invade Ukraine.

Conclusion for week of February 14 – 18, 2022.

1. The general market continues in a sideways and more bearish type pattern.
2. The top-performing sector with significant fundamentals in support: Oil Based stocks
3. The Bottom-performing sector with good fundamentals: remains with increasing interest rates, which on Friday was shocked by the news of a possible military conflict in Ukraine if Russia invades.

Special report: How to turn a losing trade into a winner

Do you know how to turn a losing trade into a winning trade?

Listen to the Podcast that gives details on setting up a calendar spread, then rolling to a diagonal bull put trade to exit with a positive 72% ROI, despite the market changing directions that would cause loss on the calendar spread.

1. Do I know what to do if the market goes against the trade setup before I enter into the option positions? Or the beginning of the trade.
2. If you cannot answer that question, it is more important to ask, "Should I make this trade?"

Consider the question, "Why exit the trade when the RBC analysts claimed the stock price would rise to $77 per share, which some would think I should stay in the trade?"

My answer is that the trade went against my viewpoint and the math-based analytics. Therefore, in my perspective, keeping the positions would not be worth the risk. Therefore, get out of the transactions and keep committed with the trade plan you know works.

Did you make money from the market volatility on Friday?

Math-based analytics does predict market pullbacks.
