  The energy sector's market leadership is set to grow, says technical analyst Johnathan Krinsky, chief market technician at BTIG, who notes a recent rise in crude oil prices as evidence, and points out that "WTI (West Texas Intermediate) put in consecutive closes above $83, including a weekly close, for the first time since last November," ending the week on its highest point this year at $85.50 a barrel. Krinsky and other analysts note a golden cross forming on the commodity's chart, which suggests further rises are imminent, and his reading also indicates emerging strength across the sector.

  Torrential rains have triggered a potentially historic flooding event in Greece, with rain totals of more than 30 inches expected in some places through today from a storm system locally known as Daniel. The storm system has already released 2 feet of rain in parts of central Greece over 24 hours and has caused floods in neighboring Turkey and Bulgaria. At least seven people have been killed across the three countries.
  
  Weather analysts say the system could develop into a Mediterranean tropical-like cyclone, also known as a “medicane," as warmer temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea fuel extreme weather patterns. The system is also part of a weather pattern known as an "Omega Block," named for resembling the Greek letter Omega, which is allowing a heat dome to build over central Europe while bringing heavy rain to the Mediterranean.
