$CL Colgate has already booked 346 million dollars in cumulative pre-tax charges under its productivity program, and 172 million dollars was still accrued at September 30 after cash payments in the first nine months. That cumulative total sits near the low end of the 350 to 550 million dollar program estimate in the 10-Q restructuring note.

📉 $CL Outlook: Extension Higher Still Possible There is a possibility that the cycle from the 07.02.2026 low has already completed at the wave 1 high, as the rally from the July low has unfolded in a clear five-wave impulsive structure. However, our preferred view remains that Crude Oil $CL can still see further upside within wave (5), as outlined in our latest updates. With Gold and Silver still expected to extend lower within their broader corrective cycles, the commodity complex could support more higher in CL before a more meaningful reversal develops. ⚠️ Until proven otherwise, we continue to favour the potential for an extension higher in wave (5). #CL #CrudeOil #OilTrading #Commodities #ElliottWave #TechnicalAnalysis #Futures #Trading #Gold #Silver
