Geopolitics grabbed the wheel overnight. A collapsed ceasefire sent oil surging, and the premarket tape is splitting along that line: producers are getting rewarded, while a cruise line with a big fuel bill is getting punished.

Away from the macro story, an EV maker is still paying for this week's capital raise, a downgrade is hitting a mall staple, and the memory chip slide is grinding into another session.

Most portfolios are a pile of accounts, not a plan. DePaolo & May — a fee-only, fiduciary firm named a Top 25 Rising Star advisory firm by USA Today — will review your situation and tell you honestly if you're on track.

Diamondback Energy (FANG): +2%

US oil prices surged after President Trump said the ceasefire with Iran is over, and Diamondback is leading the energy complex higher. As a pure producer, it has the most direct torque to a spiking barrel, which is exactly why it tops today's list.

Chevron (CVX): +2%

The supermajor is up as oil surges on the ceasefire ending. Integrated giants move less violently than pure producers, but a sustained jump in crude still flows straight to the top line.

Exxon Mobil (XOM): +1%

Exxon rounds out the energy rally sparked by the ceasefire's collapse. The move is the smallest of the group, a reminder that the biggest, most diversified names are the slowest to reprice when crude jumps.

SpaceX (SPCX): +1%

The newly public rocket maker is bucking the premarket selloff, clawing back a sliver of Tuesday's 6.5% slide that left the stock below its IPO first-trade price of $150. Even a modest green print matters for a name trying to stabilize after a rough stretch in the public markets.

Rivian Automotive (RIVN): -5%

The EV maker is falling again after Tuesday's 18% collapse, triggered by a 75 million share offering to raise capital. Dilution stings twice: once on the announcement, and again as the market digests what needing that much fresh cash says about the road ahead.

Bath & Body Works (BBWI): -4%

Goldman Sachs downgraded the retailer to Sell from Neutral, warning that its expansion into third-party distribution could cannibalize its own retail business. When the bear case is that the growth strategy eats the core business, investors tend not to wait around to see who's right.

Micron Technology (MU): -3%

Micron keeps sliding as the memory unwind rolls on. Even the biggest name in the space isn't getting a pass, which tells you traders are cutting exposure to the whole trade rather than picking winners within it.

Carnival Corporation (CCL): -2%

The cruise line is sinking as oil surges, since fuel is one of the biggest line items in the business. The same headline lifting the energy patch is a direct cost shock here, and Carnival is wearing the worst of it among the travel names.

So why do most investors only think about them in April? DePaolo & May builds forward-looking tax, investment, and retirement strategies for serious portfolios. Answer a few questions and book a no-obligation call with a fiduciary advisor. 

Netflix (NFLX)

Netflix chatter is heating up across retail platforms, as traders debate whether a streamer trading roughly 40% below its 52-wk high is a falling knife or a bargain. The buzz got fresh fuel this week from reports that the company is among the names exploring bids for US broadcast rights to the next World Cups.

The real date on the calendar is July 16, when second-quarter results land after the close, following a stretch that included a fresh $25 billion buyback authorization and a stock down 16% on the year. That print could be the moment that settles whether the dip-buyers or the doubters have the better read.

✌️That’s it for today.
