📊 Context

Risk-on in the US into the weekend; AU risk names (uranium) pulled back hard after a strong run — classic Friday de-risking pattern. Gold softening slightly after NEM's run.

🎯 Eva's Read

Uranium flush is the main story at home. Desk rules apply on own holdings: take +5% into strength, respect -4% stop — Friday's move tested stops, so discipline over hope Monday. Keep uranium watching list ready in case Monday opens on a bounce; chasing the open is not the play. HK drift is noise; US trend remains the tide — stay positioned with the trend, not against it.
