This price milestone indicates a positive market sentiment following recent gains.

Cramer recommends Devon Energy for its strong natural gas position, while cautioning that STMicroelectronics is overpriced. He highlights Taiwan Semiconductor's AI investments as potential gainers but warns about the harsh treatment of non-AI stocks.

Cramer backs Devon Energy, urges caution on pricey tech stocks

Yesterday's close, Diamondback Energy's stock price rose by 1.01%, showing a steady upward trend with a bullish close. The short-term moving average system maintains an upward trajectory, with the 5-day and 10-day moving averages in a bullish arrangement. The MACD daily line confirms a bullish signal above the zero axis, indicating that the medium-term upward trend remains intact, with buying pressure continuing to accumulate at the current price level. The trading volume was approximately $313 million, with moderate performance, showing a steady inflow of funds without signs of impatient chasing. On the news front, the oil and gas exploration and production sector is enjoying performance dividends from high oil prices. Brent crude has broken through $110, while WTI remains above $100. The tight supply situation in the oil market is unlikely to ease in the short term due to the dual effects of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and OPEC+ production controls. Although Trump announced a delay in military action against Iran, he also clearly stated that a full-scale strike would be launched if negotiations fail, making uncertainty a significant supporting factor for oil prices. As a leading producer in the Permian Basin, Diamondback Energy's cash flow generation ability in a high oil price environment is highly recognized by the market. Its peer, Devon Energy (DVN), also saw a slight increase of 0.38% yesterday. From a technical perspective, the stock price is running steadily above the short-term moving averages, facing a pressure test at previous high points. Although the trading volume is moderate, the sustained bullish candles over several days indicate insufficient bearish strength, with bulls gradually digesting the pressure above. The Energy Sector ETF (XLE) rose by 1.92% yesterday, showing good sector linkage effects. The short-term trend is biased towards bullish, with high oil prices and technical bullish signals resonating together

Pre-market trend | Diamondback Energy (FANG) 5/18 Oil prices support at high levels, bulls steadily advancing?

At yesterday's close, Devon Energy's stock price rose slightly by 0.38%, with little volatility, but the K-line formed a small bullish candle, continuing the recent mild upward trend. The MACD daily line re-established a bullish signal above the zero axis, indicating that although the price increase is modest, the balance of power between bulls and bears is still tilting towards the bulls, and the basic structure of the medium-term upward trend remains intact. The trading volume was approximately $759 million, with stable volume, showing that market participants have formed a relatively balanced trading rhythm around this price level. On the news front, the energy sector is experiencing dual benefits. On one hand, Brent crude oil has surpassed $110 per barrel, and WTI crude oil is reported above $100, which directly benefits the profit expectations of oil and gas exploration and production companies in a high oil price environment. On the other hand, Trump announced the postponement of military action against Iran at the request of three Middle Eastern countries, bringing new hope to US-Iran negotiations, and crude oil prices experienced a process of initially rising and then falling during the session. For Devon Energy, even if oil prices experience short-term fluctuations, the current oil price level above $100 still provides strong cash flow support. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) rose 1.92% yesterday, with overall funds in the sector leaning towards a warm outlook. From a technical perspective, the stock price is operating above the 5-day and 10-day moving averages, with the short-term moving average system showing a bullish divergence. Currently, it is important to note that although bullish signals have been confirmed, the increase yesterday was minimal and trading volume did not show significant expansion, indicating that the pace of bullish advancement is cautious, more like "gathering strength" rather than "exploding."

Household energy bills are set to increase by £209 annually from July due to rising oil and gas prices linked to the Iran war. Cornwall Insight predicts the Ofgem price cap will rise by 13% to £1,850. The increase is attributed to escalating wholesale prices and geopolitical tensions affecting energy infrastructure. Analysts warn of potential further increases in October as demand rises. Government support for households may be necessary if prices remain high, with energy providers advising families to fix their bills to mitigate costs.
