The OPEC logo on the building of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. Crude oil futures were little change on Monday as investors tried to parse what impact OPEC's weekend decision on production policy will have on the market. OPEC+ agreed to extend 3.6 million barrels per day in production cuts through the end of 2025. But JPMorgan analysts said the decision by OPEC+ Sunday is largely neutral for global oil prices in 2024. The production cuts combined with summer driving should increase Brent prices by $10 to the $90-per-barrel range by September, according to the investment bank.

JPMorgan highlighted a group of stocks to kick off the new trading month, reflecting its analysts' top picks and some new favorites, including Carvana and L3Harris Technologies . United Airlines is up nearly 28% this year, and JPMorgan thinks the stock could have a roughly 85% rally over the next year. Jefferies recently upgraded the airline to buy from hold , hiking its price target by $11 to $65. Higher international margins and increased free cash flow generation compared to this time last year should also help drive shares higher, the analyst said. With a $544 price target, the beauty stock could climb 37.7%, according to JPMorgan.

A sector of the stock market beloved by income investors could ride the wave of rising energy consumption over the long run, according to Wells Fargo. After 15 years of relatively flat power demand, Wells Fargo sees a compound annual growth rate of 2.6% through 2030 and 80% growth by 2050. The development bodes well for a group of utilities – and Wells Fargo called out some of its overweight-rated plays on the power trend for the long run. Wells called out the 10-year site plan NextEra subsidiary Florida Power & Light submitted to the state's public service commission. The stock's price "[reflects] a level of optimism," Wells Fargo analysts said, but "we think there is a case for further outperformance."

How much do we pay for an enterprise software business that may have hit the wall, suddenly slowing down to sales growth in the high single digits from growth in the double digits? But Salesforce is the most glaring of the enterprise software behemoths, which include ServiceNow , Adobe , Workday , SAP , Intuit , and fallen star MongoDB . Or to put it another way, Salesforce needs its clients to hire more people to increase sales growth. SaaS is another form of enterprise software, is another form of applications software, is another form of kryptonite. Of course, there will be enterprise software companies that defy the slowdown.

This is the word of the summer on Wall Street

New York CNN —Bifurcation is the word of the summer. Or it’s the word of the summer among investors, at least. It’s a word that the market gets hung up on and then all you do is hear that word. But I think that’s nearing an end, and so I would expect a slowdown in consumer spending. I’m not so sure that’s going to happen this time because their balance sheets and cash flows aren’t as strong.

Sales of newly built homes dropped 4.7% in April compared with March, and dropped a larger 7.7% from the prior year, the U.S. Census said Thursday. Higher mortgage rates are clearly hampering sales. Some of that is due to the mix of homes selling, which is mostly on the higher end of the market. Those buyers are not as influenced by mortgage rates, as they often use all cash. The big production builders have been buying down mortgage rates to help boost sales, but they are able to do that because of their size.

For Ajamie LLP, a Houston law firm with 11 attorneys, taking on banks with billion-dollar war chests is becoming a booming business. This ruling was used by a lawyer on another case, Ohio-based Alan Rosca, to secure a $3 million judgment against Morgan Stanley on March 25. He said he has been contacted by advisors hailing from "really any financial firm that offers deferred compensation to financial advisors." During that suit, Ajamie was contacted by Matt Shafer, the lead plaintiff in the Morgan Stanley case. The Morgan Stanley suit inspired Kelly Milligan, now the named plaintiff in the Merrill Lynch class action, to reach out.
