AU200: news flow leaning bearish — the net readAustralia 200CAPITALCOM:AU200PulseVane AU200 did not get one story today, it got several, and they do not all point the same way. Weighed against each other — new against old, and tracking which ones have already faded: −− Treasury yields hitting 5% may not break markets now — but the clock is ticking −− US Troops Leak New Iran War Photos Of Gulf Bases: 'Major Damage Hidden From American Public' − Amazon Says Cloud Infrastructure In Bahrain, UAE 'Beyond Saving' 143 stories were weighed in this window; the 3 carrying the most weight are listed. Net read: −−− leaning bearish — top of our scale. What this is: a measure of which way the *news* is leaning right now — not a promise about price. A read being right and a read still being worth taking are two different things: once price has travelled a long way from where the read was published, it is stretched, and a lean that is stretched is a no-chase rather than an invitation. Weight is not fixed either. A fresh headline lands, the balance tips, and the net read can flip inside an hour — that shift is the part worth watching, not the first print. I will post an update under this idea once the market has had time to speak, either way. (Informational only — not financial advice, not a signal.)
