Hawkish Warsh regime alignment
Mapping confidence
The skill's conviction in this thesis-to-securities mapping — independent of the thesis's own confidence.
Membership and order unchanged; alignmentConfidence eases 0.75 to 0.73. 
Hawkish Warsh regime and higher-for-longer kept its level and lost its tempo, and the curve split accordingly: 
the long end made 24-year highs while 
the belly finished flat as 
the October hike went from likely to about a third. Short TLT remains the cleanest expression and eases only a point; short IEF, which carries the near-term path, eases three. The managed-futures legs hold.
Aligned securities
Ranked candidates, highest structural fit first.
iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF
Alignment strength
How strongly this security participates if the thesis fully plays out.
Eased 0.86 to 0.85 with the band widened. TLT made a new cycle low of 77.11 on October 5 and the thirty-year reached about 5.73%, but recovered to 78.89 as the October hike receded. Inverse-expression of a durable regime, with a wider band for the slower tempo.

iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF
Alignment strength
How strongly this security participates if the thesis fully plays out.
Eased 0.76 to 0.73. IEF finished flat at 89.71 as 
the vice chair said there is no urgency and 
core PCE came in at 3.0%; the belly is where the October-versus-December question lives, and it resolved toward later.

iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF
Alignment strength
How strongly this security participates if the thesis fully plays out.
Held at 0.58. Managed-futures replication should carry short-bond trend exposure through a sustained rise in long yields; no direct evidence, so the band stays thin.
