    Oil Holds Steady Near $87 as Global Supply Fears Fully Ease

    Brent and WTI trading in tight range. Energy stocks stabilizing after last week’s wild swings.

    JAXON’S TAKE: One week ago oil was over $100. Today it’s $87. Cash flow systems don’t care about daily swings — they just keep printing. Cash flow rules

    March data shows resilience despite recent energy volatility. Discretionary categories up sharply.

    JAXON’S TAKE: Strong retail sales are great for the economy, but only if your own cash flow is protected. Otherwise you’re still one shock away from lifestyle creep. Cash flow beats net worth
