| TQ Evening Briefing | Today marked a reshuffle. Tech cooled, yields firmed, oil bounced, and capital quietly moved toward places where certainty still earns a premium. | | | | | | Stocks finished lower as the AI unwind extended and positioning stayed defensive into the close. | The S&P 500 fell over 1%, the Nasdaq slid nearly 2%, and the Dow dropped about half a percent. | Yields edged higher with the 10-year ending near 4.16%, while the dollar firmed modestly. | The day's gravity well was tech. | Oracle sank after renewed concerns around data-center financing reignited balance-sheet scrutiny, dragging Broadcom, Nvidia, AMD, and Alphabet lower in sympathy. | The move reinforced what markets have been signaling all month: | Capital is no longer paying upfront for AI ambition without clearer cash-flow visibility. | Energy offered a partial counterweight. | Crude bounced from multi-year lows after the U.S. moved to block sanctioned Venezuelan tankers, lifting Brent back toward $60 and helping stabilize energy equities after a bruising stretch. | Precious metals stayed firm, with gold and silver extending record runs as investors leaned into hedges. | Medline cut through the gloom, surging more than 40% in its IPO debut… a reminder that risk appetite isn't gone, just selective. | Defense names drifted lower late on reports of potential limits on buybacks and capital returns, adding another pocket of pressure. | Flows stayed telling: hedge funds continued to sell, while institutions leaned toward rotation rather than outright risk-off. |

| | | | Washington delivered a reminder that policy risk isn't theoretical, it's procedural. | House centrists broke ranks to force a vote on extending enhanced ACA subsidies, siding with Democrats to bypass leadership gridlock. | The move is unlikely to clear the Senate, but it surfaces a familiar pressure point: healthcare costs heading into an election year and the fiscal tradeoff between voter relief and deficit math. | Markets don't need passage to react, they just need the issue back on the calendar. | Defense, meanwhile, moved in the opposite direction: clean, bipartisan, and funded. | The Senate passed a $901B NDAA, locking in modest budget growth, a 3.8% troop pay raise, and tighter constraints on reducing U.S. forces in Europe. | The bill also reinforces missile defense, cybersecurity, and supply-chain localization. — while quietly pushing back on unilateral executive authority overseas. | Not flashy, but durable. | Closer to home, a federal appeals court allowed the continued deployment of National Guard units in Washington, D.C., underscoring the administration's expanded latitude inside federal jurisdictions. | The ruling doesn't resolve the broader constitutional fight, but it keeps enforcement posture intact while litigation drags on. | The signal is uneven but clear. | Healthcare policy re-enters volatility territory, weighing managed care and insurers. | Defense and security-adjacent contractors gain visibility and budget certainty. | Infrastructure, cybersecurity, and logistics benefit from federal follow-through, while governance risk remains an underpriced variable markets are slowly relearning to watch. |

| | | | Security and supply chains tightened in tandem, and markets took note. | In Europe, Poland confirmed it will restart anti-personnel mine production as part of its "East Shield" along borders with Belarus and Russia. | The move formalizes what investors have already been pricing: Europe's defense posture is shifting from deterrence to hard fortification. | It also signals longer-cycle demand for munitions, engineering, and border infrastructure as regional governments rearm around the Russia risk. | Across Asia, a quieter but more consequential front advanced. | China built a working prototype of an EUV lithography machine, the crown jewel of advanced chipmaking. | lyIt's not producing chips yet, but it compresses a timeline Washington assumed was safely distant. | The implication isn't an immediate supply shock, but a slow erosion of Western monopoly power in semicapex and a longer runway of tech decoupling risk. | Energy geopolitics added another layer. | The U.S. escalated pressure on Venezuelan oil shipments, with dozens of sanctioned tankers now under scrutiny, while the UN urged restraint. | Despite the rhetoric, crude barely flinched. | Supply remains ample, and enforcement looks targeted rather than absolute. | Put together, the flow tilts toward defense and border infrastructure as security spending hardens into policy. | Semicapex stays selective rather than broad, while energy equities remain capped by surplus supply. | Shipping volatility stays contained, with enforcement risk proving more political than disruptive. |
