SIGNAL: Washington and Senate surged into the top PSI tier (z-scores +1.81 and +1.83 respectively, with 2,508 and 1,745 mentions) on legislative activity, while White House centrality jumped +4 positions, signaling a coordinated shift in U.S. fiscal or regulatory policy execution. Marco Rubio's centrality rose +3, indicating State Department engagement on foreign policy that is reshaping Middle East and Strait of Hormuz threat vectors.

SURPRISE: Brussels (PSI +2.33, 176 mentions) is now a top-3 PSI entity by magnitude, yet sits adjacent to Fed and FOMC via yesterday's new Europe↔Fed connection-a cross-Atlantic monetary coordination signal that contradicts the typical Government-to-Government siloing in this network. This pairing suggests either ECB-Fed policy alignment or a European financial stress event triggering direct central bank communication.

SO WHAT: Market PSI of -0.0467 remains within baseline noise (0.5 std dev), but sector dispersion reveals tactical opportunity: Utilities (-0.70 z-score) and Industrials (-0.62 z-score, E&R pullback of -3.10) are statistically depressed, while Real Estate (+0.41) and Government-adjacent plays are bid. The 1,666 entities in NORMAL regime with only 64 ELEVATED and 1 HIGH suggest capital is rotating *into* political/regulatory sensitivity and away from rate-sensitive cyclicals; this magnitude of sectoral drift (>1.3 PSI spread) warrants underweight on Utilities and Industrials for the next 10 trading days.

ACTION ITEM: Monitor Kevin Warsh closely through week-end-his new connections to both Fed and FOMC (yesterday, degree now rising) paired with White House +4 momentum suggests a formal advisory role or rate signaling vehicle. If Warsh centrality crosses +6 by Friday, expect a policy announcement or Treasury/Fed coordination statement within 30 days
