Sunday, September 13, 2026
Composite edged down to 4.4 as Civic weakened and Quality of Life weakened.
The composite tilted lower to 4.4 (stressed), a −0.1 move from the prior briefing. Cost of Living carried the lift (flat) while Civic weighed the other way (−0.4), leaving the cascade balanced across crosscurrents. At current levels the cascade is stressed; second-order effects from the pressured domains will start showing up in adjacent signals over the coming cycles.
