Confirmation tests and risk channels
Deterministic synthesis of the report's source-stamped indices, breadth, cross-asset rows, filtered headlines and supplementary prediction-market data.
Market structure and participation
197 of 498 quoted securities advanced and 299 declined, producing an advance/decline ratio of 0.66. Participation was decisively negative. BSE SENSEX was the strongest verified key index at 2.11%, while NIFTY 500 was weakest at 0.65%. The spread is descriptive evidence of relative leadership, not a next-session forecast.
Cross-asset confirmation
The largest verified cross-asset moves were WTI crude -2.17%, US 10Y yield -1.95%, Nikkei 225 +1.40%, Copper +1.21%. Read these together with Indian breadth; a single asset move is not sufficient confirmation of a regime change.
