📊 Context

Aussie miners bid with iron ore steady; consumer staples outperforming (WES +3%). US close mixed: breadth narrow, tech vs rest. No major macro last night.

🎯 Eva's Read

Mild risk-on but narrow — index reads fine while uranium names bleed. PDN holding flat is constructive relative to DYL/BOE; position intact until TP or stop triggers. Watch BOE for stabilization before adding anything new. Iron ore strength keeps the big miners' trend intact.
