WS #11360
No genuinely new material developments in the last 30 minutes. The dominant signals from the previous synthesis (Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, Iran funeral, Microsoft job cuts, Apple price hikes, weak US jobs data) remain unchanged with no new data points or counter-signals. The narrative arc for Ukraine-Russia is STABLE (no escalation or de-escalation reported), and no MAG7 tickers contradict the prevailing macro narrative.
