View KMI Trade

Market Outlook:

As head into another week of earnings season, equities continue to showcase a neutral tone with key levels in the SPY being respected and price continuing to move sideways. This earnings season will likely prove to be a catalyst for a continuation of the equity rally or a further pullback. The other main theme in markets currently is inflation and how aggressive the Fed will be with regards to their hiking policy. Raising rates has caused a sell-off in growth stocks as well as the Tech sector which has experienced significant outward rotation as investors seek safety. 

KMI Bearish Trade Idea:

Our bearish DailyPlay today is Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI). Kinder Morgan is part of the Energy sector. While Energy is the strongest sector currently, KMI is underperforming the overall sector heading into earnings. Price action has been bullish but has also reached an overbought condition is a short space of time. This provides a good risk/reward bearish entry heading into earnings as KMI is overbought despite the overall trend being bearish. Please note, this is an earnings play with KMI announcing earnings tomorrow. The trade structure used for this bearish play is a Put Debit Spread.
