Please stay tuned for important disclosure information at the conclusion of this episode.

Hello and welcome to the Morning Filter podcast. I'm Susan Jubinsky with Morning Star.

Every Monday before market open, I sit down with Morning Star's chief U.S. market strategist Dave

Sikara to talk about what investors should have on their radars for the week, some

We hope you'll take a few minutes to take the Morning Filter survey.

We'll use your feedback when developing future episodes.

You can scan the QR code on screen or access the survey

Pre-market is down a little bit over 1%.

But the U.S. Treasury, like the tenure, is still under 4%.

Oil prices up quite a bit. Looks like WTI, West Texas Intermediate, up 5.5 to 72 and a half a barrel.
