Why markets watch it

How to interpret it

Read Short Duration Strategy in context rather than in isolation. Direction, speed, persistence and confirmation from related indicators determine whether the observation reflects a durable shift or a temporary technical move.

What can invalidate the signal?

The meaning of Short Duration Strategy can change across cycles and market structures. Policy intervention, one-off flows, illiquidity, positioning, revisions and instrument-specific conventions can weaken simple historical relationships.
