Notes From All Over -- The "Surprise" Edition -- July 1, 2020

Surprise, surprise: market volatility.
  • futures down
  • market opening jumps over a hundred points
  • now late-morning, Dow down 60 points
  • headline: ADP data disappoints
  • hunch: this will be forgotten by 2:00 p.m. EDT this later today
    • AAPL: still holding on -- up about half a percent
    • TSLA: up 4.4%; up almost $50; apparently sets "new record"; market value surges past Toyota; 
Later, 10:58 a.m. CDT: market turns green -- Pfizer sparks "vaccine hopes." LOL.
On another note, that poll at the sidebar on the right -- which pharmaceutical company would get the government nod -- appears to be a bust. It was posted about three weeks ago when there were reports that the federal government would pick one of five leading pharmaceutical companies to take on the US corona virus vaccine program -- but to date, nothing. So the poll comes down. I've lost interest.

Taxes: no more delays. IRS says "tax filing deadline" won't be extended past July 15, 2020.

TCM: "Government Girl." Wouldn't have posted a note about this show, but it appears Ed Norton channeled Sonny Tufts when Ed Norton spoke about "love" in "Birdman." Amazing. 
The "government girl": Olivia de Havilland. This clip from "Birdman":

EIA Weekly Petroleum Report

Almost forget, EIA weekly data out today.

Link here:
  • US crude oil in storage: 535.5 million bbls; a whopping 15% above an already-fat level of storage; down from 16% last week;
  • US crude oil in storage decreased by a whopping (there's that word again) 7.2 million bbls from the previous week;
  • refineries operating at 75.5% capacity; pretty much unchanged;
  • jet fuel supplied was down 60.0% compared with same four-week period last year; again, pretty much unchanged
  • US crude oil imports, at 6.0 million bpd, the four-week average of 6.5 million bpd
  • WTI; immediate reading -- pretty much unchanged
