Connection thesis

Small indices (IWM +0.69% [52887]) and broad-cap indices (QQQ +0.11% [52886], SPY +0.09% [52885]) are holding near flat while mega-caps show bifurcation (NVDA +0.93%, MSFT +1.11% [52889] vs TSLA -5.42%, META -0.82%). This is a flight-to-quality pattern *within* equities, not into bonds/cash. Defense contractors and infrastructure plays (implied by prior Trump $1.5T defense spend narrative) are being repriced higher relative to consumer discretionary. The flat broad indices mask deep rotation.
