<h3>Macro bias</h3>
<p>Neutral-to-mild dollar strength into any further risk-off headlines. Bonds will lead: if 2-yr yields fall >10–15bp on weak payrolls or retail, risk assets get relief; if yields reprice higher, expect USD and financials to outperform.</p>
<h3>FX</h3>
<p>Bias: tactical long USD vs commodity-linked FX on large energy prints. Trigger idea: DXY break below 97.8 on 4‑hour close invalidates the short-term USD rally — flip to short if sustained. Use ATR(14) on DXY or USD pairs to size stops (keep stops ~1.0–1.5x ATR for intraday, 2–3x ATR for swing).</p>
<h3>Equities</h3>
<p>Rotation remains: defensive sectors outperform on hotter inflation. Watch financials: steeper yield curve favors banks, but sticky inflation later compresses multiples. For swing trades, use intraday VWAP rejections after CPI headlines for entries and set risk to 1–2% capital per trade.</p>
<h3>Credit & Rates</h3>
<p>Front-end rates are sensitive to payrolls and next CPI/PCE prints. A durable dip in jobs will likely re-open the 25bp cut narrative quickly — so keep size light on duration exposure until the November data cadence resumes.</p>

<h3>Concrete signals I’m watching</h3>
<ul>
<li>Short-term USD bullish if DXY closes >99.10 on daily — target 100.5, stop 98.2 (1R management).</li>
<li>Flip to risk-on if 2-yr UST yield drops >15bp intraday following soft payrolls — buy cyclicals on VWAP pullback, stop below prior day low.</li>
</ul>
