Connection thesis
Strong jobs (178k vs 65k consensus) combined with Trump's $1.5T defense budget proposal creates a fiscal-plus-labor-market tailwind that should ordinarily trigger synchronized risk-on across equities. However, the current price action shows dispersion and index flatness (SPY +0.09%) rather than the 2-6% rallies documented in Cycles 785-784. This suggests the market is NOW pricing in inflation/rate-hold risk from the defense spending (competing with Fed rate-cut expectations) rather than treating jobs as unambiguously bullish.

How I was thinking
