SIGNAL: AP PSI+2.43·5,653 mentions and Washington PSI+2.03·2,801 mentions are driving the strongest quantitative signal, with newly strengthened connections between AP and Donald Trump alongside rising centrality for White House (+1).

However, Utilities (-0.81), Consumer Staples (-0.79), and Materials (-0.66) are statistically depressed versus +1.70 to +2.43 z-scores for government-linked entities, creating a 3.5+ standard deviation spread. This bifurcation signals defensive capital flight from cyclicals into policy-sensitive plays-Goldman Sachs' +1.92 PSI and rising White House centrality anchor the beneficiary thesis.

ACTION ITEM: Monitor Japan (PSI=+1.83, rising centrality) and Pakistan PSI+1.62·1,925 mentions for geopolitical capital allocation this week; both show elevated signals despite mid-tier ranking, suggesting emerging market repositioning tied to Washington-brokered policy. If AP mention velocity holds above 5,500 through Friday, expect formal White House or State Department announcement within 10 days. Initiate short-
