Confidence: ROBUST — a primary official series, mechanically reported.
Reliability (DRS): DRS 95 — Two-sided by declaration: a falling dollar alongside falling long-end demand is the loss-of-confidence signature; a spiking dollar signals global stress and flight to quality. The partner tile to auction demand (F10).
