Markets Break 5-Week Losing Streak - Market Outlook (Ep. 25)

So this week was only a four-day trading, Monday March 30 to Thursday April 2, due to the Good Friday holiday.  The stock market was heavily driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with oil prices surging above $100 and driving volatility.  We saw big gains early in the week followed by a tumultuous Wednesday night trading session due to the Trump's speech, where we saw those early week gains fade.  But markets rebounded late Thursday on potential diplomatic resolutions regarding navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.  With Thursday seeing a sharp decline followed by a rebound to positive territory, that may suggest a desire among traders to avoid weekend risk exposure amid the rising conflict.  I know I tend to flatten out a bit when we have these three-day holidays.  I don't like having a ton of risk over the long weekend, because a lot can happen.  All it takes is one tweet!JOIN THE COMMUNITY VIA PATREON/DISCORD:Become a "Premium Member" by subscribing on Patreon ( https://www.patreon.com/dtoptions ).  This gets you access to the Discord, including the daily voice chats on market days, as well as access to exclusive video content posted on Patreon, including all of the daily voice chats in their entirety.
