MARKET-DISCOVERED GROUP

Regulated Utilities

THE TRADER READBroad relative move, confirmed beyond the cohort—but not by flow

0 of 8 measured SPY-adjusted paths align to the mixed across 5.1 effective names. AEE, BKH are also moving with filing-linked members. Capital-flow agreement is 18%, so the basket is not yet clean. No verified headline preceded the measured move.
