What this module does
Cool — slowing
Sector Flow helps you move from “what stock should I buy?” to “which sectors are supported by macro evidence, surveys, and momentum?” Connects to Economic Weather and Bondonomics for deeper macro context.
⚠ Storm Warning: Defensive rotation detected in the model. Utilities, staples, and healthcare groups score stronger while discretionary and growth cyclicals weaken.

Educational long / short pair ideas
-
Long Utility / Short Finance
— spread 46 pts
Educational pair: model favours relative strength in Utility versus headwinds in Finance under the current macro regime.
-
Long Consumer Staples / Short Auto, Tire and Truck
— spread 36 pts
Secondary spread idea for sector-neutral positioning research — not a trade recommendation.
