First things first: new Wes Anderson movie, debuted July 12, 2021, in Cannes, France, will open in the US this October, 2021. Link here. Reviews are mixed but fans of Wes Anderson are likely to be thrilled. 

New Mexico comes in at #2. North Dakota drops to #3. Link here. Seventy-two rigs in New Mexico; twenty-three rigs in North Dakota. Nice.

WTI falls: stronger dollar. Also, due to "surprise jump in US gasoline and distillate stocks." Link here.

Ten-year treasury: closes at 1.296% yield. Jim Cramer, interestingly, starts out with this in his opening monologue. This is truly most confusing. If inflation is so bad, why are bonds yielding so little? And, here: Walter Bloomberg -- US ten-year treasury yields fall to session low of 1.299%.
