Generate a comprehensive morning market briefing by calling these tools in parallel:
terminalq_get_quotes_batch("SPY,QQQ,DIA,IWM,VIX,TLT,GLD,USO") — major index and asset class snapshotterminalq_get_macro_dashboard() — key economic indicators with latest valuesterminalq_get_economic_calendar(7) — upcoming events this weekterminalq_chart_sector_heatmap() — sector performance visualizationterminalq_get_portfolio_live() — user's portfolio in market context
After gathering all data, synthesize a structured briefing following the Market Briefing contract in docs/output-contracts.md:
Market Mood: Determine risk-on vs risk-off from SPY/VIX/TLT/GLD movements. If VIX > 20, flag elevated volatility. If TLT is up while SPY is down, note flight to safety.
Index Snapshot: Present major indexes in a table — price, daily change, % change.
Style Rotation: Compare QQQ (growth/tech) vs DIA (value/industrials) vs IWM (small caps) to identify rotation trends.
Sector Heatmap: Embed the sector performance chart. Highlight leading and lagging sectors.
Macro Dashboard: Summarize key readings — yield curve status (inverted = recession signal), inflation trend (CPI direction), labor market (unemployment, claims), Fed funds rate.
Upcoming Catalysts: List the most market-moving events from the economic calendar (CPI releases, FOMC, NFP, earnings).
Portfolio Impact: Note how the user's portfolio performed relative to SPY. Flag any holdings in lagging sectors or with notable moves.
Data Freshness: Include a table noting each data source, how recent it is, and confidence level (High/Moderate/Low per docs/output-contracts.md).
Disclaimer: End with the standard disclaimer from docs/output-contracts.md.
Keep the briefing concise but actionable — what happened, what matters, what to watch.
