# Pre-Market Brief

> A 6:30am ET email that distills the most recent writer signal — first-ever mentions, fresh deep-dives, conviction calls — plus what's on deck today and where markets closed.

The **Pre-Market Brief** lands at **6:30am ET on weekdays**. It's built around one idea: surface the freshest, highest-signal output from the [Writers corpus](/research/overview) before the open — biased hard to **sector and single-name** views — and ride that with the day's setup and a quick market read.

Writers tend to publish their meatiest single-name theses in the evening, overnight, and over the weekend, so a morning sweep catches that whole window.

## What's in it

### ☀️ Today's setup

One line at the very top — the current regime (read straight from the [regime engine](/macro/market-pulse#the-regime-badge), including its top anomaly when one is severe), overnight ES futures, and the day's headline event. The five-second read.

### 📐 Tape read

A second line under the setup — the single highest-severity **computed** equities observation from the last close (a divergence, a concentration stat, a σ-outlier). It only appears when there's one worth flagging, so its presence is itself a signal.

### 🧯 Credit

A third line, rarer still — it appears only when the [Credit Monitor](/macro/credit)'s verdict **changed** (say, Asleep → Stirring), a **tripwire tripped**, or a live widening is in progress. Silence is the normal state; when this line shows up, credit is doing something the equity tape may not be pricing yet.

### ⭐ Your names today

Names from your portfolio and watchlists that had something happen — fresh calls (with the writer), new coverage, 13F flows, earnings timing, outsized σ-moves. The same engine as the [Today](/getting-started/today) page's centerpiece, in your inbox.

Call lines carry the writer's [grade](/research/calls#writer-grades) up front: **★** for a FOLLOW writer, **⚠** for a FADE writer — so you know at a glance whether the call comes from someone worth following or worth fading.

### 🔄 Writer flips

Right after your names: any writer who **reversed a standing position** — "Zephyr: long→short · was +32% over 4mo". Scoped to names you follow or graded authors, so it only fires when the flip actually means something to you.

### What writers just dropped *(the centerpiece)*

The distilled writer signal since the last brief, ordered by how much you should care:

* **🆕 First-ever mentions** — a name appearing in the **entire corpus** for the first time. Nobody's covered it before — the strongest signal.
* **📄 New deep-dives & theses** — a dedicated piece built around one name, with the writer, a one-line takeaway, and a **Read / Watch / View ↗** link to the original.
* **💡 Fresh calls** — explicit directional calls pulled from the day's pieces.
* **🤝 Consensus** — names two or more writers landed on. When their views genuinely differ, each distinct view is broken out (the AI groups writers who agree), so it reads as substance, not a bare source count.

Tickers carry a small **company · sector** line, and links go straight to the source article, video, or post.

### New Substack & YouTube

A clean reading list of **every** long-form piece published in the last 24h — newest first, each with a one-line topic/takeaway and its source logo. No ticker call-outs here (those live in the sections above) — just "what got published today."

### 📅 On deck today

* **Macro calendar** — today's scheduled releases (tiered: Big Three / Tier 1 / Tier 2), with the time and consensus / previous; plus a "coming up" line for the next few.
* **Reporting today** — the notable companies on the earnings calendar, with your own holdings starred.

### 🧾 Earnings recap

The prior session's notable reporters — mega caps plus anything you hold (starred ★, ranked first): **beat/missed X%** vs estimate, actual vs expected EPS, and the stock's reaction (after-close reporters are measured on the *next* session and labeled so).

### 🌏 Overnight

The live tape while you slept: ES/NQ futures, DXY, 10Y (in bps), gold, WTI, BTC vs prior close — plus Asia and Europe session moves.

### 🔄 Rotation

The week's quadrant crossings from the [rotation view](/indices/thematic-heatmap#rotation-view) — themes newly leading, turning up, or rolling over vs SPY. Same events as the Rotation watch card on [Today](/getting-started/today).

### 🌅 Market color *(at yesterday's close)*

* A compact tile strip of the headline instruments — **SPY · QQQ · IWM · VIX · DXY · 3M · 10Y · HYG · GLD · BZ** — the same set and values as the [Market Pulse](/macro/market-pulse) tiles.
* The Pulse snapshot: a one-line headline, the sentiment read, the day's themes, and sector leaders / laggards.

### 🏦 13F *(only when there's news)*

The first brief after a fresh batch of 13F filings lands includes the **Consensus highlights** — top buys, top sells, and cluster new positions, with the conviction lead funds. It drops back out until the next batch, so it never clutters a normal morning.

## What it's not

* **Not a real-time alert system** — for live intraday flow, use the [Market Pulse](/macro/market-pulse) right rail.
* **Not exhaustive** — it surfaces the top items per section, not every event.
