Holding: newest synthesis is 93d 10h old
No material new developments in the last 30 minutes. The dominant risk-on narrative from the weak jobs report remains intact with no counter-signals or de-escalation. Key themes (Fed rate cut expectations, gold rally, Senate Russia/Iran sanctions, DJT-Crypto.com termination, GOOGL bond sale) are unchanged from the previous synthesis. No new data points warrant inclusion in key_developments.
