Market Data Evidence

S&P 500 futures (ES) -0.4%, Dow futures -0.2%, Russell 2000 -0.5% Tuesday May 19 at 4 AM ET. Modest pre-market softness through the overnight White House Iran-rejection news - far from the risk-off cascade the rejection narrative might have implied. Cash session integration of the rejection plus the Wed-Thu binary cluster (FOMC minutes, NVDA, Walmart) is the operative read.
