Decision Notes
- I treated NATO and Iran as the common political-market drivers.
- Economy coverage separates Fed and BOJ expectations, oil, equities, and currency pressure.
- Technology coverage avoids an AI-only set by adding quantum, semiconductor materials, cybersecurity, and AI server infrastructure.
Follow-ups
- Check whether NATO summit language clarifies the U.S. mutual-defense commitment.
- Track whether Iran compliance reporting affects oil and shipping risk.
- Watch whether AI equity pressure affects capex plans and power agreements.
