“Green-Dot Sunday” Is Non-Negotiable: Oil Up, Stocks Down As War Begins 2nd Month

As last week wore on, it felt increasingly like the market was transitioning from pricing inflation risk (from a ‘brief’ energy supply shock) to weighing a demand-shock-driven growth scare (from a longer lasting disruption) as bonds rallied in the face of higher oil and lower stocks (stagflation).

Last week saw three attempts at unilateral de-escalation (5-day delay, ‘ceasefire’ proposal, 10-day delay) met with even more supply as the apparent ‘Trump Put’ or ‘TACO’ trade is losing its power.

Simply put, as Goldman’s Shreeti Kapa noted last week, the answer to everything depends on one binary variable: the duration of the war.

That in turn depends if there will be safe transit of oil vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

Even if the strait is opened, would we be able to restore oil flows to pre-conflict levels?

What is the guarantee for safe passage?

Can any ceasefire be trusted?

For how long would that hold?  

This weekend gave us no answers to those questions but did suggest, as top Goldman trader, Brian Garrett, described: the situation is fluid.

Iran says electricity facilities were attacked in Tehran

IDF says currently striking Iran targets across Tehran

Foreign ministers of regional countries seeking peace & offramp in Pakistan meeting on Sunday.

Iran destroyed US AWACS jet at Saudi Airbase

Report says Pentagon has been weeks in preparing ground operations as initial Marines arrive in region (WaPo).

Fluid indeed…

Here’s how Garrett started his “weekend” prep note: 

“the quotation marks around weekend are intentional…

…investors and traders have not had a break in months, with “Green Dot Sunday” turning from a one-off into a 2026 non-negotiable…

…the forthcoming three day “weekend” for US markets is almost unwelcome as the market holiday just means another news/headline session coupled with zero price discovery and zero liquidity.”

The feedback from various market participants suggests that Brian hit the nail on the head – headline fatigue is real.

Here’s a few things on Garrett’s radar…

1/ CTAs have sold even more global equities…

They are quickly approaching max short levels … at a minimum that pressure is abating 

2/ Main Street is finally noticing…

The texts from college friends and family members is showing some panic… “bg, what did you do to the market” 

3/ SPX Call Skew is collapsing…

The hope for a quick rebound is diminishing… this is reflected in the cost of an OTM upside strike…

4/ SPX realized correlation remains extremely low for the size of this drawdown…

Desk continues to like sector ETFs or custom basket options for those looking to express trades in convexity 

And in case you needed to hear from another ‘expert’, here’s Iran’s de factor leader offering some day-trading advice:

Iran’s defecto head now pitching premarket trades https://t.co/T6qy3fOPMW
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) March 29, 2026
So, Sunday night, dots are green… and oil futures open higher with WTI testing up to $103…

Up to 3-week highs…

S&P futures are down almost 1%…

The dollar is lower (against the JPY) out of the gate and Gold is up modestly, bouncing from a lower open…

How long will this opening kneejerk hold?

Finally, we given the last words before another busy (if shortened) week to Goldman’s Garrett: a silver lining?

What is good news is that prices are finally reflecting the issues at hand and the correction has at least started (h/t NDX officially -10% from the highs)… feels like we’re closer to an end than the beginning but also feels like we’re playing a game that doesn’t have “innings” in the classic sense (ie : no one can give you a timeline)… many parties need to want to de-escalate and that’s not evident (yet).

Here’s the trades Garrett likes:

Continue to think receiver (or just simply lower yield) trades make sense

Long emerging market equities that benefit from higher commodity prices

Short credit (only asset yet to flinch)

SPX ratio call spreads, long the 2-3x (pitched last week, still like it and we got traction)

Long gold (this one is gaining followership)

And don’t forget: buy the Monday/Tuesday…

…sell the Thursday/Friday (or Weds/Thurs this week?)

Sydney Sweeney doesn’t have a fan in Kim Novak.Novak, 93, confessed that casting Sweeney, 28, to play the iconic actress in her upcoming biopic, “Scandalous!” was “totally wrong.” “I would never have approved,” Novak recently told The Times, before adding that the “Euphoria” star “sticks out so much above the waist.”SYDNEY SWEENEY THANKS MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS AS SHE REVEALS BROTHER IS DEPLOYEDAmong the myriad issues with the film, Novak shared concerns that the movie would hyper-focus on the sexual side of her relationship with Sammy Davis, Jr., despite the pair having “so much in common” outside physical attraction. “There’s no way it wouldn’t be a sexual relationship because Sydney Sweeney looks sexy all the time,” Novak said. “She was totally wrong to play me.”Sweeney’s representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.SYDNEY SWEENEY ADMITS SHE ‘NEVER FELT CONFIDENT’ GROWING UP WITH CURES, BUT ‘EUPHORIA’ CHANGED EVERYTHINGColman Domingo’s directorial debut focuses on Novak’s once controversial relationship with Sammy Davis, Jr., a romance Novak believed was perfectly normal.”I don’t think the relationship was scandalous,” the 92-year-old actress told The Guardian last year.”He’s somebody I really cared about,” Novak added. “We had so much in common, including that need to be accepted for who we are and what we do, rather than how we look. But I’m concerned they’re going to make it all sexual reasons.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSNovak’s longtime manager, Sue Cameron, previously explained the “Vertigo” star never intended to marry at the time she met Davis Jr.”Kim and I have been aware of at least four unauthorized and unapproved projects in development about the Kim Novak and Sammy Davis affair,” Cameron told People.”She never wanted to get married back then — to anyone. It was a romance based on love, respect, the things they shared in common,” Cameron added. “Kim and Sammy met at a party and recognized they were both rebels and outsiders. They both had strong ties to their families and spent time with close relatives in both Hollywood and Chicago. In truth, she hoped their relationship could help break down people’s racial bias.”CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERNovak also opened up about her “misunderstood” relationship with Davis Jr. in a 2023 interview with Fox News Digital.”I loved him,” she recalled at the time. “He was a person that had a youthful innocence about him. Now, I know no one ever saw him that way, but I did. He had a boyish quality, and I loved that about him.”The “Picnic” actress explained she “never saw somebody with color.””When I was a child, my very first boyfriend was Mexican. He was an altar boy at my church. He was my first love. So, I never thought of race,” Novak said. “However, the studio was very much upset by it. I resisted because I didn’t believe that was correct. While people were feeling a certain way, I also felt people needed to change. And I felt that by seeing Sammy and Sammy seeing me, that we could help people understand and accept interracial relationships of any kind.”She continued, “I was feeling like I was on the edge of being able to help people to be more accepting of all races and relationships of all kinds. I felt I was doing the right thing by doing that. I felt that Sammy and I were at the start of helping people understand that this is not wrong. A man is a man, no matter what skin color he has. A woman is a woman, no matter what skin color she has.”Fox News Digital’s Lauryn Overhultz contributed to this report.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-MD., clashed with ABC News host Jon Karl on Sunday as he was questioned over what Democrats have achieved in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown fight.The government has been in a partial shutdown for 44 days, affecting DHS. Democrats are demanding stringent reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the battle to fund DHS.Karl asked Van Hollen about the “bottom line,” noting Congress was on recess and the DHS was still not funded and that Van Hollen had issued a statement that Republicans had “finally relented” on Friday.”So when the Senate passed that bill and there was that brief moment, it looked like, you know, dawn had broken you put out a statement saying that Republicans had, quote, finally relented,” Karl said. “What did Democrats get out of this? Even if that passed, what did you get out of this this DHS shutdown‘s going on for well over a month? What have you gotten for it?”DEMS BLOCK DHS FUNDING AFTER GOP REJECTS THEIR COUNTER, THUNE SAYS SCHUMER ‘GOING IN CIRCLES’Van Hollen said Democrats wanted to fully fund TSA, and in turn, get rid of the long lines at airports. However, he said, ICE is a “lawless operation,” and said the Democrats wanted reforms.”I guess what’s confusing here is you have fought and blocked the funding for the Department of Homeland Security because you object — as you just outlined — to what ICE has been doing, and you wanted to force changes,” Karl said during an interview with Van Hollen. “And yet, the only thing that has been assured throughout all of this is that ICE already has the money. Because as you said, $75 billion passed in the budget bill last year. So you’re holding up the entirety of the Department of Homeland Security because you object to ICE and you want changes to ICE, but through it all, ICE continues to have the money.”Van Hollen accused Karl of making a “false statement” in saying that they were holding up the DHS funding.BORDER CZAR TOM HOMAN RIPS CONGRESS FOR PAID VACATION AS TSA AGENTS STRUGGLE WITHOUT PAY”We have said repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly, we should fund TSA, we should fund FEMA, we should fund the Coast Guard. We are not prepared to give ICE another $10 billion on top of the money they already have and are using in many of these lawless operations,” Van Hollen said.Karl interjected, “and fighting over that additional $10 billion, you are—you are holding up the rest of Department of Homeland Security.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE”We’re not holding it up,” Van Hollen shot back.”You’re holding up unless it doesn’t include money for ICE. That’s just a fact,” Karl responded.The House passed a stopgap measure that would temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security late Friday.The two-month funding extension approved by the House is likely dead on arrival in the Senate, where any funding bill needs to overcome a 60-vote threshold, meaning buy-in from a handful of Democrats. That hurdle has not stopped House GOP leadership from arguing that their rejection of a Senate-passed deal — and pitching a subsequent rival DHS funding proposal — is the way out of the shutdown.”We’re not going to split apart two of the most important agencies in the government and leave them hanging like that,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters leaving the U.S. Capitol on Friday night. “We just couldn’t do it.”

Rep. Andy Barr was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about his bid for the US Senate in Kentucky. The seat will be open with the retirement of long-time Senator Mitch McConnell.
Rep. Barr also talked about DHS and criticized the radical left for wanting to defund them.
“We’ve done our job in the House. We’ve fully funded the Department of Homeland Security, including TSA, including ICE, including Border Patrol,” Barr said.
“We were not going to allow the radical left to defund ICE and defund Border Patrol right in the middle of a conflict in the Middle East. This is a dangerous time, and we need full Homeland Security,” Barr continued.
“You said you would support whatever the President decides,” Bream commented on Iran.
“This President has the commander-in-chief power to keep the American people safe. I’m grateful for this President diminishing the military capabilities and the nuclear capabilities of the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism,” Barr said.
Rep Barr explained that President Trump is going after the Iranian regime in response to their violence and murder against thousands of Americans.
“This President is not starting a war. This President is ending a 47-year war where thousands of Americans have lost their lives to this murderous regime,” Barr continued.
“11,000 targets have been successfully taken out in Iran. This is not going to be an occupation of Tehran,” Barr said.
“How would you be like the man you hope to replace, Senator McConnell? How would you be different?” Bream asked.
“I’m the only candidate in this race who is actually working with this President to pass his agenda,” Barr said.
“I’ve been with him all the way on delivering the largest tax cuts in American history. With him all the way on restoring American energy dominance. With him all the way on rebuilding our military and eliminating the terrorist threat from Iran. And with him all the way on securing the border and tripling funding for immigration enforcement and deporting dangerous illegal criminal aliens,” Barr continued.

President Trump boards Air Force One – America is back – White House video
A security incident on Sunday caused a temporary ground stop and the deployment of military aircraft at Palm Beach International Airport, where Air Force One was scheduled to fly back to Washington, DC with the President on board.
Initially, reports on social media claimed that a drone breached the airspace near Air Force One.
Video from a Delta Airlines flight at Palm Beach International shows a pilot announcing a ground stop, telling passengers, “apparently there was like a drone that came in too close,” and that “they had to scramble some helicopters to go and investigate that.”
According to the White House press pool, the motorcade departed Trump International Golf Course at 2:15 p.m.
Now, the New York Post has reported that there was no drone, according to the White House and Secret Service.
Instead, the issue was an aircraft that was “out of communication” with air traffic control, and there was no risk to the President, who was playing golf at Trump International Golf Course at the time, or the First Lady.
Per the New York Post:
However, the White House and Secret Service said the incident did not involve a drone — but a private plane that lost communications.
“A general aviation aircraft was briefly out of communication with the air traffic control tower at Palm Beach International Airport, but contact was ultimately established and the ground stop was lifted,” a White House official told The Post.
“There was no drone incursion or concern regarding Air Force One, which is not slated to take off until this evening.”
Secret Service told The Post that “At no point was there any risk to AF1 or the President’s safety.”
According to Fox News, the private plane entered the secure airspace, and F-16 fighter jets had to use flares to get the pilot’s attention and divert the plane.
