Tier 1 — 3× weight
ai_capex
AI capex shock
AI capex shock is a Tier 1 trigger at prior 0.30, status rising. Oracle Investor Relations (2026-06-10) reports FY2026 free cash flow at negative $23.7 billion and $43 billion in debt financing, extending capex-to-cash-flow compression. Section 7.4 frames the evidence as scenario-output; no threshold has been crossed. The position de-loads if a top-7 hyperscaler signals a qualifying capex reduction or funding strain reverses.
iran_hormuz
Oil & Iran / Hormuz
Iran/Hormuz is a Tier 1 trigger at prior 0.45, status active. Reuters (2026-06-13) reports Brent settled at $87.33/barrel and Iran FM Araqchi confirmed the MOU had not yet been signed. The framework reads this as Layer A scenario output per section 7.4 for a chokepoint supply shock. De-load requires restored Hormuz traffic, durable oil normalization, and a ceasefire sustained over six months per section 13.
rates_fiscal
Rates and fiscal stress
Rates and fiscal stress is a Tier 1 trigger at prior 0.12, status watching. BLS Employment Situation Release (2026-06-05) reported payroll employment increased by 172,000 in May and unemployment was unchanged at 4.3 percent. The framework reads this as Fed-reaction and long-end Treasury monitoring. De-load would require calmer inflation, policy, volatility, and auction stress conditions.
taiwan
Taiwan
Taiwan is a Tier 1 trigger at prior 0.09, status quiet. ANI News (2026-06-13) reported 6 PLA aircraft sorties with 4 entering the southwestern ADIZ and 8 PLAN vessels around Taiwan. Taiwan Ministry of National Defense (2026-06-11) recorded 11 sorties with 9 crossing the Taiwan Strait median line. The position raises on any kinetic cross-strait incident and de-loads on sustained lower PLA activity.
Tier 2 — 2× weight
basis_trade
Treasury basis trade
Basis trade is a Tier 2 trigger at prior 0.12, status quiet. sofrrate.com (aggregating Federal Reserve Bank of New York data) (2026-05-26) reports SOFR at 3.55% as of May 22, 2026; the framework's threshold requires SOFR-IORB to exceed 25 bps. The position de-loads when the spread falls persistently short of that threshold under stable money-market conditions.
private_credit
Private credit dislocation
Private credit dislocation is a Tier 2 trigger at prior 0.25, status active. Reuters (2026-06-05) reports issuance fell to $44.76 billion in the three months ended May 2026, while BCRED and Cliffwater capped withdrawals at 5% after 10% and 17% requests. The framework treats this as Layer A scenario output under section 7.4. De-load requires redemption normalization, stable BDC outlooks, and sustained improvement in stress metrics.
yen_carry
Yen carry unwind
Yen carry is a Tier 2 trigger at prior 0.27, status watching; threshold is USD/JPY below 140 in under 5 sessions. Polymarket (2026-06-13) prices a June BOJ 25 bps increase at 99%, scheduled to resolve on or around June 16, 2026. Section 7.4 frames the prior as scenario output; layers remain independent per section 7.7. The framework de-loads when spot stabilizes and carry-position stress recedes, per sections 13 and 13.6.
