High volatility expected

Contract award is positive but 40min old—market has had time to digest. Broader S&P selloff (-0.82%) and elevated VIX (26.86) override isolated good news. No clear directional edge.

Expected to decline

S&P 500 already down 0.82% with rising fear (VIX +2.72%)—macro headwinds dominate sector-specific wins.
