Connection thesis
The 10Y-2Y spread has compressed to 0.51 (from 0.56 last cycle) while VIX has fallen to 25.25 (from 27.44), suggesting risk-off sentiment is moderating. Simultaneously, the 10Y yield declined 7bps to 4.35, signaling either flight-to-safety demand abating or Fed rate-cut expectations creeping back in. With unemployment stable at 4.4% and CPI flat at 327.46, the bond market is pricing a scenario where geopolitical tail risk (Iran, Strait of Hormuz rhetoric from Hegseth/Trump) is not yet systemic enough to trigger a safety bid. This is a de-risking narrative: the ceasefire narrative is holding, but yields are falling because the market believes the Fed will have room to cut by Q2/Q3 if growth data softens.

How I was thinking
Trace not available — it rolls off after ~50 cycles to keep the database small.
