"explanation": "The news story about railroads being allowed to reduce inspections and rely more on technology to detect track problems is a significant regulatory shift with broad implications for the transportation and infrastructure sectors. This change affects major freight rail operators (e.g., Union Pacific, BNSF), which are key components of the U.S. supply chain and capital-intensive industries. The shift toward technology-driven inspections could influence operational efficiency, maintenance costs, capital allocation, and long-term safety performance—factors directly relevant to portfolio management, risk assessment, and investment decisions in transportation, industrial, and infrastructure sectors. While not a direct earnings or Fed decision, it constitutes a major regulatory change with sector-wide impact, particularly for investors in rail, logistics, and infrastructure-related equities and bonds. Therefore, it falls in the 9–10 range.",
