The price of energy should spook investors. So far, the market is foolishly accepting of the price of oil without a negative reaction as long as it doesn't break out to a new high.

I would characterize this as a correction long in coming. We're coming off of this tremendous run, plus you've got oil prices near all-time highs and the prospect of higher interest rates through the end of the year, and so you're seeing some profit taking.

You have the correct sectors continuing to lead, which are technology and financials. The Michigan numbers were good today, and oil prices are down.

We like stocks in oil and drilling. Energy does well in an inflationary period. So we want to have some exposure to energy,

We're supported by a rebounding economy after a weaker fourth quarter, and recently lower oil prices. But that's countered by concerns about slower earnings growth and higher inflation.

That's going to dominate the market today until we get more information. A potential story like this from an OPEC producer brings up the worry that oil can spike to new highs very easily. We see the reaction in equities when oil goes higher. It stops equities in their tracks.

There's concern in the markets that higher oil prices may hurt the economy.

It's important that OPEC comes to a conclusion to help with global supply but it may be too late for the summer season. High oil prices do not help the economy and it will still contribute to inflationary numbers. Oil will be a continuing story to see how the price of oil reacts over the next three weeks to these increases.

In the face of geopolitical tension and oil up almost 4% for the day, the market held up extremely well. Today could've been a nasty day, but everything still performed well. This was a decent end to a lackluster week.
