Trail
Connection thesis
Nike earnings beat + tariff-driven bankruptcy narratives create a bifurcated market signal. Nike beats *despite* tariff headwinds (supply chain hedging, pricing power), but retail sentiment (tariff bankruptcy panic) remains elevated. This is a classic macro/micro divergence: large-cap companies with hedging capacity outperform while small/mid-cap consumer-discretionary faces margin compression. Tariff narrative intensity stays high even as data quality declines (more journalism than earnings).

Prediction
Large-cap tech/consumer (SPY) higher in 24h; small-cap Russell 2000 lower in 24h

Score · wrong
Wrong direction on relative prediction. SPY +0.1% (correct), but IWM +0.7% (wrong). Prediction required large-cap tech/consumer higher AND small-cap lower in 24h. SPY correct but Russell 2000 outperformed expectations, contradicting the bifurcated tariff narrative. Thesis about Nike earnings beat + tariff dynamics didn't materialize as predicted.
