π― Eva's Read
Desk watch: PDN near stop territory, DYL fragile β keep the β4% discipline. BOE +3.7% supports SAM exposure, hold toward +5% target.
Big iron +1.5% legs strengthen the MIN/S32 case; S32 4.93 holding, grid entries paper-only.
Overseas: resist chasing TSLA extension; NVDA trend intact. Gold stall after 4172 = normal consolidation, not exit.
