Trail

Connection thesis

Mega-cap tech (MSFT +1.11%, NVDA +0.94%, AAPL +0.12%) and small-cap equities (IWM +0.70%, QQQ +0.12%) are holding steady despite the geopolitical shock (downed fighter jet, $1.5T defense request). This suggests institutional capital is rotated into 'defensive growth' and earnings-resilient names rather than fleeing to bonds or cash. The 10Y-2Y spread at 0.52 (still positive, non-inverted) confirms the curve isn't signaling recession fear yet. This is consistent with the market's narrative: geopolitical events are real but priced as a medium-term defense/spending catalyst, not an immediate tail risk.
