Tracked names — indirect reads

From the 19-stock weekly scan — supplier, rival, commodity, or policy reads the direct tagger missed.

COINdown	down moderate	accumulation	Crypto prices sank below $80k on hot inflation, Fed turned hawkish (Warsh, rate-hike odds, 5.12% yields), spot-crypto ETFs bled outflows, and crypto listings froze. All indirect, macro-driven, but accumulating against COIN volumes.
MUup	up moderate	accumulation	Memory-pricing surge, SK Hynix-led DRAM rally, and 43.7% Korean chip-export jump signal strong DRAM/HBM demand and pricing lifting MU. Partly offset by CXMT/Yangtze Chinese-supply expansion. No MU-specific catalyst.
BAmixed	mixed small	accumulation	No direct Boeing news. Indirect signals conflict: Berkshire's Delta stake and a US-China trade thaw are mild positives for aircraft orders, but a sustained oil rally squeezes airline customers. Weak, offsetting reads.
CATmixed	mixed small	accumulation	No direct CAT news. Sharply higher long rates plus oil/recession risk pressure construction demand and costs; offset by China tariff thaw and datacenter/infra buildout. Two-sided, modest.
CEGmixed	mixed small	accumulation	No CEG-specific news. AI data-center power-demand tailwind (Nebius power guidance, chip capex) supports the thesis, but a rate/inflation shock (3.8% CPI, 5.12% 30-yr, hawkish Warsh) pressures rate-sensitive IPPs, roughly offsetting.
CMGdown	down small	accumulation	No direct Chipotle news. Accumulating consumer headwinds (3.8% inflation, rate-hike risk, record household debt, oil/gas up) pressure discretionary dining; beef-license story marginally lifts input costs. Modest, indirect drag.
DEmixed	mixed small	accumulation	No direct ag-equipment news. Rate-hike scare (hot CPI/PPI, 5.12% 30Y, Fed hawkish) mildly pressures equipment financing and farm capex; offset by China tariff-cut/beef-license thaw aiding farm exports. Net small and mixed.
FDXdown	down small	accumulation	Oil spike raises jet-fuel costs while hot inflation, rate-hike risk and record household debt threaten shipping demand; tariff-truce talks only partly offset. Indirect accumulation, no FedEx-specific catalyst.
GMdown	down small	accumulation	No direct GM news. Macro headwinds stack up: hot inflation and rate-hike risk raise financing costs, $100+ oil and record household debt pressure auto demand, soft China demand. Tariff-cut hopes only partly offset.
JPMmixed	mixed small	accumulation	Rate/inflation shock cuts both ways for JPM: higher yields and steep curve aid NII and trading volumes, but recession/credit-loss risk, record household debt, and deal-activity chill offset. No direct JPM catalyst.
LMTup	up small	accumulation	Active/escalating Iran war, faltering ceasefire, rising Pentagon war costs, and sustained missile/arms demand accumulate to a mild positive read for a defense prime; no direct LMT catalyst, so effect is modest.
TSLAdown	down small	accumulation	No direct Tesla news. Inflation/rate shock (3.8% CPI, 5.12% 30Y yield) pressures rate-sensitive high-multiple equities; softening China EV demand adds drag. Musk SpaceX-IPO halo and tariff truce partly offset.
UNPdown	down small	accumulation	Oil above $100 lifts rail diesel costs while hot inflation, rate-hike risk, and recession warnings threaten freight volumes; tariff de-escalation partly offsets. Indirect, modest net negative.
WMTmixed	mixed small	accumulation	No direct WMT news. Hot inflation, record household debt, and $100+ oil squeeze WMT's low-income shopper and input costs (negative), partly offset by potential China tariff relief (positive for import-heavy retail). Net mildly mixed.
