The week of March 9 2026 produced one of the cleanest single-week senior-macro-PM drawdowns of the past three years. Three months on, the recalibration pattern across the Asia-anchored macro cohort is visible enough to write about. The mobility signal underneath the drawdown, not the drawdown itself, is the part worth reading.
