Gold debasement bid 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 0.87 to 0.86. 
Gold structural debasement bid fell because 
gold declined while yields eased, a fact about the thesis rather than about whether the bullion vehicles express it, so GLD and IAU hold. GDX fell 2.5% against GLD's 2.0% - less amplification than recent windows - and eases a point.
