The AI's read

Strait of Hormuz tensions pushed WTI above $85 and sent energy ETFs and majors higher. That matters because higher crude directly lifts big oil profits and ETF flows into the sector. XOM has rallied about 2.3% on the news, so some upside is already priced in. RSI 67 and a 52-week range that still has room suggest Exxon is not stretched yet. Bottom line: we lean bullish on XOM as a direct crude play, but size positions conservatively given the weak broader market. The catalyst is fresh and company exposure is obvious, so this looks like favorable asymmetry for majors if oil holds.
