Agents now show equipped gloves in menus
· Item update
Hold gloves and agents; this is a visibility change, not a supply shock. Do not chase early glove or agent reprices unless volume confirms real demand.

Gloves
Gloves now appear in more UI contexts, which can support showcase demand. Valve did not change glove supply, cases, drops, or tradability.
The play
Do not buy into instant spikes. Hold existing liquid pairs and watch whether sales volume rises for 24–48 hours before adding size.

Agents
Agents benefit only indirectly from better glove display. The patch does not add new agent utility, retire supply, or create a new sink.
The play
Avoid broad agent baskets. Only consider specific agents if they already had strong liquidity before the patch and avoid thin listings.
