⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION

Market is in early-session risk-off mode with unresolved geopolitical overhang. Confidence is moderate (62) because the move is fresh but driven by macro uncertainty rather than a clear catalyst. Consider waiting for clarity on Middle East situation before aggressive shorts; long Jefferies on M&A thesis if fundamentals support valuation. [MOVE:-1.2%]
