Friday's most active premarket stocks

Good Morning! 

It's Chris from Elite Trade Club, here to give you this morning's premarket trading news.

Let’s get ready to trade!

Markets 📈

The market returned to form on Thursday with a sharp rally that began with a blowout earnings report from Nvidia.

Futures indicate the rally could continue at the open. Currently, S&P 500 contracts are up by less than 0.1%.

What to Watch Today:
Today’s earnings schedule is pretty thin, although the Warner Bros. Discovery report could be interesting, so the real question is, can the market sustain its upward momentum into the weekend?

Premarket Highlights 🔎

🛢️ Oil's Unflappable Zen Amid Global Dramas

Two years into Russia's "uninvited tour" of Ukraine and amid a geopolitical telenovela featuring Israel, Lebanon, and a cameo by Hamas, you'd expect oil prices to be throwing a major tantrum.

Instead, they're lounging about 12% lower than before the fireworks started. It's like the oil market decided to binge-watch Netflix instead of keeping up with the news.

 🧊 Cool Under Pressure
Bob McNally, the wise sage at Rapidan Energy Group, reckons the oil market has been hitting the geopolitical gym, bulking up its resilience to global scuffles.

This new chill vibe means that even when the geopolitical kettle is whistling, oil prices are more "meh" than "mayday."

📉 Betting Against the Drama
Back in the day, a hint of trouble meant oil prices sprinted like they were late for a flight. Fast forward, and the playbook has changed.

Nowadays, betting on oil prices to spike on bad news seems as outdated as flip phones. It appears the market has learned to swipe left on drama, keeping traders on their toes and rewriting the old "buy on the sound of cannons, sell on the sound of trumpets" strategy.

So, as global tensions simmer, the oil market's message is clear: "Keep calm and carry on." Who knew commodities could be so Zen? 🧘‍♀️
