Verdicts

  • Overnight/intraday split: REJECT as new sleeve (both legs positive; overnight 1.37/-6.7% vs intraday 1.00/-14.0% � decomposition insight only, economically small at +12%/+23% over 10.6y).
  • Earnings exclusion: REJECT decisively (earn-window days earn +13.3bps/d vs +5.7bps/d, 51% of cum P&L � exclusion would remove the alpha).
  • TLT/GLD leads: REJECT (-0.54/-0.27, p 0.80-0.96).
