What moved on the register

Sector laggard patterns led the week's live archetype activity at 529 matches, well ahead of anything else surfacing from the register. Credit-leaning re-ratings held a clear edge over exit-leaning ones (3,837 vs 2,628), with accommodation businesses over-represented at 1.4x their share of this period's re-ratings — a borrowing-appetite signal, not a distress one — while information services showed a similar tilt (1.5x) on the exit side, albeit on a thin 19 companies. Total re-ratings ticked up week-on-week (27,683 vs 25,666) even as both directional cohorts shrank, meaning more of the week's activity sat in the volatile, both-up bucket — worth flagging as noise rather than a market turn.
