Where this matters

Market changes feed the planning brief only when they shift positioning, buyer urgency, infrastructure budget mood, or the evidence needed for a product bet.

## US market risk appetite

mixed / +0.00%

Broad US risk-on/risk-off movement changes appetite for new SaaS spending, AI tooling, and experimental product bets.

When broad US growth/risk appetite weakens, prioritize immediate ROI, cost control, and evidence-backed buyer proof over speculative new surfaces.

## US AI infrastructure bellwethers

mixed / -0.15%

AI infrastructure equities are a fast proxy for whether the market is rewarding compute, chips, cloud, and model-platform expansion.

Strength supports AI-infra and agent-evaluation narratives; weakness pushes High Signal toward cost control, proof, and practical workflow value.

## International AI supply chain

risk-on / +0.79%

International semiconductor and platform bellwethers show whether AI demand is broadening outside US mega-cap narratives.

When international AI supply-chain names move together, High Signal should look for cross-border supply, policy, and capex signals before recommending market-intelligence builds.
