SIGNAL: Japan (+1.89 PSI, 613 mentions) and Morocco (+2.12 PSI, 123 mentions) are driving positive signal intensity in the Government sector after a new Japan↔Ohio connection emerged in the last 24 hours, signaling potential manufacturing or trade policy alignment. Chief (+1.97 PSI, 231 mentions) is the highest-volume mention driver in Government, suggesting executive-level negotiations or announcements are underway in both regions.

SO WHAT: Market PSI sits at -0.0543, flat day-over-day and locked in NORMAL regime across 29 days of data, but sector composition reveals material positioning divergence. Industrials trades at -0.62 PSI (driven by E&R at -2.98 z-score with 109 mentions and HTA at -2.51 z-score with 56 mentions), Utilities at -0.60, while Government sector floats positive on Japan and Morocco strength-a 1.22 PSI spread between declining industrial fundamentals and rising geopolitical engagement. This configuration favors rotation out of automation/manufacturing plays into defense, energy infrastructure, and Middle East-exposed assets through Middle East↔Strait of Hormuz (+5 centrality gain, +77 net loss in Gulf suggests regional capital reallocation).

ACTION ITEM: Monitor Japan trade announcements and Ohio-based manufacturing commitments through end-of-week; if Japan PSI sustains above +1.5, expect formal trade agreement or supply-chain reshoring within 30 days. Short E&R an
