Verifiable intelligence · Policy reality gap
Central Bank Credibility
What a central bank says vs. what the bond market is actually pricing. When the rhetoric and the benchmark yield disagree, one of them is wrong — and that gap is where the next repricing lives.
How to read it
- Behind the curve — the bank sounds dovish/complacent while yields are rising. The market thinks it is underestimating inflation.
- Market disbelieves — the bank sounds hawkish/"higher-for-longer" while yields are falling. The market is pricing a forced pivot.
- Credible — rhetoric and the market-implied direction agree.
The rhetoric stance is a transparent lexicon score — every hawkish/dovish term is shown below, negations included. The market side is the standardized trend of the benchmark yield over 20 trading sessions. Both carry provenance. No verified feed ⇒ we say so.

Rhetoric stance is a transparent lexicon score; market stance is a standardized yield trend. Neither is investment advice. A gap flags that guidance and the market disagree — resolved when the bank's next decision (or the market) settles it.
