Surprise C-suite departures, standard M&A rumors, expected macroeconomic shifts ( +e.g., a telegraphed 25bps rate hike), regional geopolitical skirmishes with no direct supply chain disruption. + +7-8 (High Impact): Severe catalysts. Massive earnings surprise (>15% miss/beat), unexpected macroeconomic policy +shifts (e.g., surprise 50bps rate cut), sudden sector-wide regulatory crackdowns, successful M&A closures. + +9-10 (Extreme Impact/Black Swan): Systemic shocks.
