The data window contains no genuinely new material developments beyond what was already captured in the previous synthesis. The Ukraine-Russia conflict escalation via oil infrastructure strikes remains the dominant theme, but no new data points, counter-signals, or de-escalation signals have emerged in the last 30 minutes. The China PMI data and Japan defense statements are unchanged. No actionable market-moving information is present.
Key developments
