Money Master Take
Index weakness was broad, not panic-driven.
Commodity and banking names led the downside, hinting at macro sensitivity.
Select defensives (utilities, consumer staples) showed relative strength.
Liquidity remains healthy, especially in large-cap financials.
The session reflects rotation and sector repricing rather than structural breakdown.
