Opportunity in crisis - what's next for this market

WALL STREET INSIDER REVEALS #1 AI PICK [“Google and Microsoft are battling for 1]( the AI race, but this is my #1”](   Target this sector out of the banking crisis With the focus of the market being banks and their balance sheets - and rightly so - traders might be overlooking opportunity in other areas. These opportunities can arise for a multitude of reasons, but more often than not, everything is connected.     Market conditions are, in the short term, being dictated by the banking crisis. While stocks have moved tepidly higher - with the exception of the Nasdaq-100 (QQQ), which is up over 15% in 2023 compared to just 4% year-to-date for the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) - nearly everything in the market hinges on the banking crisis fallout. Right now the CME Group Fedwatch tool is pricing in a 50/50 chance of the Federal Reserve pausing interest rate hikes in May.     A potential Fed pivot could have drastic effects on the market. That’s why it’s important for traders to stay informed and prepare themselves NOW. Thankfully, Money Morning LIVE is on the case.

One such expert who testifies at the altar of {NAME} is Volatility Expert Mark Sebastian. As a volatility expert, Mark is all about options. Shoot, volatility is one of the major drivers of option pricing! And, according to Mark, option positions don’t create a move in the market or a stock in one way or another, but make the move bigger. Mark believes that the recent drop in oil was going to happen anyways, but market makers made the drop bigger and stronger. As for the next move in oil… [Mark has got you covered.]( Mark sees a strong move to the upside for oil, industrials, and financials if the market goes “risk on”.

CJ is looking for a bounce in oil and natural gas to drag Marathon Petroleum Corp (MPC) higher. A $650 option is a little bit pricey…but Chris believes paying a little bit extra for time premium is worth it for the trade to work its magic.
