Hot PPI just lit the fuse. Wholesale prices jumped 1.3% m/m (vs 0.6%) and core 0.7% (vs 0.3%), the biggest monthly PPI pop since 2022, while retail sales printed 0.8% (vs 0.3%). Oil is the inflation culprit, and $CL refused the dip: post-print low 93.61, then ripped to 95.49. Spot now 95.26.

Oil is the trade of the season. 🛢️

📡 SIGNAL: $CL LONG (desk holding from 89.50)
Stop: 92.20
Targets: 100 / 106 / 115
(Projections, not promises.)

Why we're still in it: energy drove the PPI beat and geopolitics keeps a floor under barrels. First target is the round 100 break, then 106, then 115 as the stretch.
