The transmission tool fits linear terms to an exact source fixture

Read the explanation

Outside its exact fixture, the source yield shift multiplies surprise input by fourteen point two over one hundred ten, rounding to one decimal. Fifty-five gives seven point one basis points; the exact one hundred ten fixture assigns fourteen point two. Bars share thirty pixels per assigned basis point. This is fitted source arithmetic, not a measured jobs or yield response. Above surprise one hundred fifty, the source jumbo term is surprise minus one hundred fifty times point zero zero three, rounded to two decimals and capped at point three five. One hundred sixty gives three percent; one hundred eighty gives nine. Bars share forty-eight pixels per assigned percentage point. These are imposed labels, not calibrated central-bank probabilities or current policy forecasts. At the exact surprise fixture, the source assigns gold change minus one point three eight percent. Hypothetical baseline two thousand times point nine eight six two gives one thousand nine hundred seventy-two point four; baseline four thousand gives three thousand nine hundred forty-four point eight. Bars share point one one pixels per assumed dollar. This is a scenario computation, not a live price or financial recommendation. Full JSON/reset and native first-footer checks preserve source behavior.
