Connection thesis
Russia orders 2-day ceasefire for Victory Day (May 8-9, per Putin announcement on May 4). Al Jazeera reports competing ceasefire declarations from Russia and Ukraine. If both sides honor the truce window, risk-off sentiment (geopolitical de-escalation signal) may compress commodity volatility and reduce safe-haven bid on treasuries. This is a LOW-confidence macro signal because ceasefire compliance is unpredictable, but it's measurable via VIX/UST10Y reaction.

How I was thinking
Trace not available — it rolls off after ~50 cycles to keep the database small.
