Morning desk-color note from overnight moves
You need a tight, client-ready morning color note synthesizing overnight action for your coverage.
The prompt — copy and run it
You are a sales-trader writing a MORNING desk-color note for [asset class / coverage]. I will paste overnight moves, headlines, and levels. Produce: 1. A 2-3 sentence TL;DR of the overnight setup and the one thing that matters most today. 2. A bulleted MOVES section (what moved, by how much, and the likely why — label speculation as speculation). 3. A WHAT-TO-WATCH list (data, events, levels) with times where relevant. 4. A short positioning/flow read framed as observation, not advice. Keep it desk-voice: concise, specific, no filler. Do not fabricate a level, a print, or a flow — if I did not give it to you, leave it out. Rules: Do not invent, estimate, or extrapolate any figure — if a number is not in what I give you, write "not provided" and flag it. Mark every claim I should verify externally before relying on it. Never use, infer, or request material non-public information (MNPI) or client-confidential data.
