Speaker 1 (00:01):
How are you, mister Whetro?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
How could I not be good? It's Whetro Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yeah, well, it's Whetro Wednesday. That's the good side.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
The bad side of the coal is it stocks took
a slump yesterday and oil prices jumped again.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
What's going on, man, Yeah, let's take a look at it.
We had the Dow down almost three hundred points at
two hundred and ninety nine, which is point seven zero
to the negative. Get five hundred off fifty points, which
is point eighty four percent, and the Nazaka off one
hundred and eighty which is point ninety one of a percent.
So what's causing it? Well, we have oil prices that
(00:38):
are yeah, I jumped around four percent. Gasoline nationally is
three eighteen. Ohio came down a little bit at three
dollars and one cent, so it's not so bad. But
let's put it in perspective. They're talking about, Okay, the
war is causing this because I Ran has a lot
of oil, right, and they're saying that that also because
they sits or a lot of oil goes through the
(00:58):
straight up her more or moves.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, and and no few saw this. But last night
I saw this story. Two tankers collided near the street
and were in flames yesterday, which could cause a bottleneck.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Also, how does that happen? Fred?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You know, they hit each other. But later in this
article I'm reading, it says because of this conflict it
could temporarily slow down. But after showing that, you know,
in the past, it really didn't disturb anything in the past.
Right here again they throw all this rhetor rick out
there and get us all go up. Oh my gosh,
oh my goodness. And if I recall I've heard this right,
(01:38):
Iran doesn't have any air support and not really a navy.
So how in the world is this going to slow
everything down when Israel's controlling Well.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, the air, the air is controlled.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
They've destroyed most of their most of their fighter jets,
so that part's you know, that part's all true. I
guess the biggest worry is is the oil fills themselves
and the Straits of Hormuz, which most of the oil
from that area goes through at one point or another.
That's the biggest problem at this point.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, if we can keep the tankers from hitting each other,
we'll be okay. Well, then there's that well, anyway, and
then we had the retail the retail sales that came
out came we're off a little bit than what they expected,
and they were saying that, okay. In April, we were
all nervous about the tariffs, so we went out and
bought cars and everything. We don't want the extra prices.
So now it's slow to a little bit, and the
(02:33):
Fed is most likely they're going to.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Come out today.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
They're going to announce at two o'clock. Most likely the
rates are going to stay the same. But then at
two thirty is going to give his his speech, and
that's what we're really looking forward to seeing what he says.
But they're anticipating inflation to rise, you know, later on
this year, so that you know, got to be careful
with what they do with the interest rate. They don't
want to you know, cut them. But again, what we
hear two and a half three years ago that inflation
(02:56):
is just temporary. Yeah, we don't have to worry about
it's just it's temporary. So you take what they say
with the grain of salt. But yes, it does move markets.
But you know, that's why we have to take some
of this emotions out of it. And just let's look
at the data that's coming out.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, because and the reason is it moves the markets
is because the markets operate on emotion, as we've talked about,
and they're looking further ahead, well, what could and it's
never what is absolutely going to happen because nobody knows
as it yep, well what do we think could happen?
And of course the first thing they think, because they're humans,
is it could be something bad?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, yes, I know, but we all we operate on fear.
People advertise, you know, and they say, oh, it's you know,
they want to shake you up and get you movment
in the direction. So and it works that people do
it absolutely So.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Other than the fed of speaking later this afternoon, you said,
what two thirty, two o'clock something like that, he's.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Going to speak at two thirty. But the rate decision
will come out of two, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
So we'll be keeping an eye on that.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
There were some winners and losers yesterday though yesterday right.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh oh Land, Yes, we had j bill which jumped
eight point nine percent. We have Verb Therapeutics sword eighty
one and a half percent after Eli Letties' Eli Lillies
that it would buy it, spit all that out.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Vallera was up two point nine to one. Lackey Martin
bounce back at two point sixty three on the losing side.
First Solard down seventeen point eight nine. I heard that
in the new build they're talking about reducing some of
the money going to the solar companies, and I think
that's what pushed the solar companies down. Today. We have
earnings coming out still, we're almost through with the quarter,
(04:42):
but we have Smith and Weston coming out, corn Ferry
coming out, and then we're gonna watch the watch the fad.
But keep in mind market's close tomorrow, Juneteenth holiday.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
All that I forgote, Okay, ye, all right, Well we'll
talk tomorrow morning anyhow, because we have to take a
look at what happened today. We'll still have the conversation
in the morning. That won't be bad. So, and how
are things looking in the bond market this morning? In
overseas right now?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Well, the interest rates came down just a little bit.
It's ten years sitting at four point three eight, the
two years sitting at three point ninety four. Overseas yesterday
it was negative. Last night it came into the foot
seat is up point ninety three. If we look at
the Asian Pacific DNIK is up three hundred and forty eight,
Shanghai is up four point five to nine, but the
(05:30):
hang things down two hundred and sixty nine points.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Okay, all right, Well, you keep an eye on stuff
this afternoon, taking nap before the numbers come out, so
you're right awake when the FED makes their decision.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
We'll talk about that tomorrow morning.
