Canada long-term yield

What it is

Canada long-term yield — registry key ca_long_yield.

Canada long-term benchmark government bond yield (Bank of Canada Valet BD.CDN.LONG.DQ.YLD, ~30Y). long-end supply-stress carrier, Phase 2 of improvements/long-end-stress.md; scoring deferred to a pre-registered study.

Data-pyramid tier

T1 — Signal. This metric sits at the signal layer of the platform’s six-tier data pyramid (T0 raw inputs → T5 actionable read). The tier reflects how far the value is from a raw measurement — not how strongly it is validated. Abstraction and validation are separate axes: a higher tier is not a claim of stronger evidence.

Horizon & validation

No validated skill horizon is on file for this metric — read it as context / a data carrier, not a validated edge. Stamps are added only when a gated research verdict lands.

Where it surfaces

Health-score / alignment role

Data carrier — no implication, no health-score contribution.

Persisted for downstream consumers (sparklines, base-rate matcher, calibration substrate) but does not classify into BULLISH / NEUTRAL / BEARISH and does not contribute to the 0-100 health score.

Release cadence
