Market Regime: RISK_OFF QNTM's regime overlay flags RISK_OFF today, triggered by a war-escalation signal tied to the ongoing US-Iran conflict. at least three tankers came under attack this week as they tried to transit the Strait of Hormuz, according to maritime security agencies — a reminder that energy-security risk remains elevated even as headline volatility stays contained.

Conviction: 47.8/100 Near the model's neutral midpoint, with only 1.6% of the 1,205 names scored flagging high conviction — signaling a broad lack of strong directional signals across the scored universe today, consistent with a cautious, wait-and-see tape.

On the calendar today

ADP Employment Change (prior 20.00K), Exports/Imports (Aug), and Trade Balance (Aug) are on deck. Earnings include Constellation Brands (STZ) and Lamb Weston Holdings (LW) , both reporting Tuesday.

Overnight & premarket

U.S. stock index futures rose as Treasury yields dipped from multi-year highs and oil prices retreated, offering relief ahead of earnings season , with Dow +0.42%, S&P 500 +0.25%, Nasdaq +0.40% . The 10-year yield fell to 5.27% and the 30-year to 5.63%, easing from levels last seen in 2002.

What to watch 1. Any fresh Strait of Hormuz tanker incidents — oil (~$87 WTI) remains sensitive to headlines. 2. ADP/trade data reaction given still-high long-end yields. 3. STZ/LW earnings as early reads on consumer demand ahead of broader Q3 season.
