Global Monetary Policy Update — November 6, 2026: Energy Shock, Policy Divergence and the Return of Inflationary Constraints

The Global Monetary Policy Snapshot

The table shows the convergence in direction. It does not show the dispersion in stance. Table 2 compares policy rates with the latest inflation readings. The measures are not harmonised and the comparison is ex post, so it indicates relative stance rather than a measure of real rates.

The ex-post gap ranges from about −1.5 points in the euro area to about +2.1 points in China, which is the divergence that matters. Policy is restrictive in Norway and China, close to neutral relative to inflation in the United States and the United Kingdom, and negative in the euro area, where the ECB is leaning on the long end of the curve rather than the policy rate to tighten.

Central-Bank Analysis

Federal Reserve: a hawkish hold

On 28 October the FOMC kept the target range at 3¾–4% by a 10–2 vote, after the unanimous September increase. The statement says economic activity is expanding at a strong pace, domestic spending is resilient, productivity growth is strong and capital investment is robust, while inflation remains elevated; the Committee ‘will deliver price stability’ and offers no guidance on the next move. Governor Cook and Cleveland Fed President Hammack voted for a further 25 basis points. Since then, September CPI has come in at 3.7% (core 2.6%), and October payrolls rose 165,000 against a consensus of about 65,000, with unemployment at 4.1% and hourly earnings up 3.1% on the year. Fed funds futures put the probability of a December increase at about 77% on 6 November (CME FedWatch, as reported), up from 66.9% a week earlier, and at about 85% by the 9 November close (Reuters). After the cut-off, Governor Waller said he would support at least 25 basis points in December and that 50 basis points should be considered if October core CPI rose 0.3% or more.

Interpretation. The supplied draft called the decision a pause. The better description is a hawkish hold: the dissents ran only towards tightening, and the statement’s strong-growth language removes the argument for easing. The productivity language matters for the thesis in both directions. If productivity growth is as strong as the Committee states, supply capacity is expanding and the inflationary cost of an energy shock is smaller; if the investment boom behind it also sustains demand for labour, energy and capital, it keeps the economy from cooling. The funds rate (3.88% midpoint) sits about one percentage point below the ten-year yield (4.86%), so long-term financing conditions are set largely beyond the policy rate.

European Central Bank: tightening through the long end

The Governing Council kept the three key rates at 2.50%, 2.65% and 2.90%. Its statement says energy prices have continued to rise, posing upside risks to inflation and downside risks to growth; underlying inflation has remained broadly stable and wages show no material response so far; and financing conditions have tightened since the last meeting, which is likely to weigh on inflation and growth. President Lagarde said at the press conference that the Council debated whether a hike was appropriate and decided unanimously to hold, that the cost of long-term financing had clearly increased since September, and that average ten-year sovereign yields had risen by about 35 basis points since the cut-off for the September projections. Inflation was 3.8% in September and 4.0% in the October flash, with energy inflation near 20% and core at 2.5%.

Interpretation. The hold is not neutral. In the Council’s own account the tightening since September has come from long-term rates, fiscal uncertainty and spillovers from global bond markets, and its reaction function rests on the inflation outlook, underlying inflation and the strength of transmission. A deposit rate at core inflation with headline at 4.0% means the central bank is accepting a negative ex-post stance while long yields do part of the work, which is exactly where a structural term-premium and sovereign-risk component would show. The ten-year French yield reached 5.05% on 22 October, and the same month’s hold was accompanied by a widening of French spreads. The ECB’s exposure to the energy shock is therefore twofold: through the headline and through the financing conditions of the sovereigns it also has to stabilise.

Bank of England: tightening before the evidence is complete

The MPC raised Bank Rate by 25 basis points to 4% by eight votes to one, Catherine Mann preferring a 50 basis point increase to 4.25%. UK CPI rose to 3.5% in September (core 2.8%), and the Bank projects it to rise to around 5% by the middle of 2027, averaging 4.9% in the second quarter in the Monetary Policy Report. The Bank states that the Committee will adjust Bank Rate as necessary and is not on a pre-set path, and that there is now enough inflationary pressure in the pipeline from energy prices to justify an increase, while noting limited evidence of second-round effects. The November Market Participants Survey median expected Bank Rate of 4% in November, 4.25% in February and 3.5% two and three years ahead. In September the MPC also voted unanimously to reduce the stock of gilt purchases held for monetary policy to zero.

Interpretation. The Bank is acting on the projection, not on realised second-round effects, which is a pre-emptive response to a supply shock and the sharpest example of the thesis that central banks now tighten into weakening real incomes. The survey path is informative for the structural question: even market participants who expect more tightening put Bank Rate back at 3.5% within two years, which is not the path of a structurally higher cost of capital. The UK ten-year yield, near 5.15% on 4 November, remains above Bank Rate by more than a percentage point.

Bank of Japan: normalisation with a hawkish minority

The Bank kept the rate at 1.25% on 30 October by eight votes to one; Takata proposed 1.50%, arguing that inflation had reached the target and warranted faster hikes towards neutral. The decision followed increases in June (to 1.00%) and September (to 1.25%, by 7–2, with two members preferring to hold). At his press conference Governor Ueda said that underlying inflation has reached levels consistent with the price target, that financial conditions remain accommodative, and that the Bank must be vigilant to the risk of inflation overshooting; it will adjust policy as appropriate so that underlying inflation becomes anchored around 2% (Reuters translation). Reuters read the stance as opening the way to a hike as early as December, with the Bank open to raising rates every few months, and the Outlook Report left the fiscal 2026 inflation forecast at 2.5%. USD/JPY closed near 158.4 on 6 November.

Interpretation. Japan matters for the world bond market as the marginal bid for foreign duration. The ten-year JGB was near 2.81% on 5 November, so the domestic alternative has risen by roughly 1.5 percentage points over the policy rate. The mechanism is a smaller marginal demand for foreign bonds, not a liquidation, and the relevant variable is the hedged return. The yen at 158 despite two increases shows that a Japanese policy rate of 1.25% against a US range of 3.75–4% still leaves a carry gap of about 2.5 to 2.75 percentage points. The hawkish minority at the BoJ, as at the Fed, points the same way.

People’s Bank of China: accommodation, a changed anchor and imported cost pressure

The one-year and five-year loan prime rates stayed at 3.00% and 3.50% on 20 October, the seventeenth month without change since the 10 basis point cuts of May 2025. Three developments were missing from the supplied draft. From 2 November the PBOC moved its daily operations to an overnight reverse repo at 1.25%, which commentators read as a change in how policy is delivered rather than where it is set, and on 29 September it cut the one-year pledged supplementary lending rate by 25 basis points to 1.50% and raised relending quotas (PBOC statement). On 3 November it raised the foreign-exchange deposit reserve requirement ratio from 4% to 6% with effect from 15 November, the first increase in nearly five years, to slow a rise of more than 5% in the yuan this year (onshore USD/CNY near 6.67 after touching a four-year high for the currency). Inflation data show the shape of the shock: in September CPI was 0.9% and producer prices rose 5.0%. After the cut-off, the NBS reported October CPI of 0.7% and PPI of 5.7% (9 November).

Interpretation. China is importing the energy shock as a producer-price shock without a consumer-price response, which compresses margins rather than lifting inflation. It therefore does not face the Western trade-off. Its exchange-rate pressure also runs the opposite way from the usual divergence story: while other central banks raise rates, the yuan has strengthened on exports and corporate conversion, and the PBOC is leaning against appreciation rather than defending against depreciation. That removes a depreciation constraint on easing, but the FX reserve measure signals a preference for a stable rather than a strong currency, and the move of the policy anchor to an overnight rate is the first sign that the PBOC wants to approach the operating model of the other major banks.

Reserve Bank of Australia: a split board and a long inflation path

On 3 November, not 4 November as stated in the supplied draft, the Monetary Policy Board raised the cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.85%, the highest since 2008 and the fifth increase of 2026. Six members voted for the increase and three for no change at 4.60%. The Board said capacity pressures are a little tighter than estimated, higher fuel prices are being passed through to other prices, and the risk that higher inflation expectations become embedded is increasing. Staff forecasts show headline inflation of 4.5% in the December quarter, above 3% until late 2027, and the middle of the 2–3% target range not reached until around mid-2028.

Interpretation. The three dissents are as informative as the increase. They record a board that sees demand weakening as the cash-rate increases and the housing market cool, yet judges that expectations are the greater risk. The forecast horizon, inflation not at target until mid-2028, is the longest of any bank in this update and shows how a supply shock can lengthen the policy horizon even when it is not expected to be permanent.

Bank of Canada: the first increase since 2023, into a weakening labour market

On 28 October the Bank raised its overnight rate by 25 basis points to 2.50%, its first increase since July 2023, alongside a Monetary Policy Report that lifts the inflation outlook: around 3.4–3.5% by end-2026, at or above 3% through much of 2027, and near 2% by mid-2028. It describes growth prospects as improved, with exports and business and government investment supporting activity, and says oil prices are expected to stay higher for longer. The policy rate sits in the lower half of the Bank’s estimated neutral range of 2.25–3.25%. On 6 November Statistics Canada reported a loss of 4,700 jobs in October and an unemployment rate of 6.7%, up from 6.5%.

Interpretation. Canada is the clearest case of a tightening that has to be judged against a soft labour market. It is also an energy producer that benefits from higher oil prices as a terms-of-trade gain, which is why the inflation outlook, not demand, carried the decision. The risk is that a second increase meets a weaker economy than the Bank assumed.

Sweden and Norway: two responses to one shock

The Riksbank raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to 2.00% (announced 4 November, effective 11 November), after 1.75% since September 2025. It says stronger activity, supply disruptions and a weaker krona raise the inflation outlook, and that further increases are likely in the coming year if the outlook holds, in line with its September path. September CPIF inflation was 1.5%, or 3.0% excluding temporary fiscal measures, and 1.6% excluding energy. Norges Bank kept 4.50% unanimously, after increases in May and September, and said it is prepared to raise further if the inflation outlook requires. Norwegian CPI was 3.4% in September (3.0% excluding energy and tax changes); domestic prices rose faster than projected, capacity utilisation appears slightly below normal, and the committee expects to keep the rate elevated for a time.

Interpretation. Sweden is raising rates while measured inflation is below target, because the Riksbank looks through the temporary fiscal measures and weighs activity, supply disruption and exchange-rate effects. Norway, an energy exporter, holds at a restrictive 4.50% because domestic inflation, not imported energy, is the problem. The pair shows that an identical shock produces different policy responses depending on whether the economy is an energy importer or exporter and on the state of domestic cost pressures.

Energy, Imported Inflation and the Transmission of the Shock

The shock is large but its path is uncertain. The EIA put Brent at an average of $114 a barrel in September and forecast $105 for the fourth quarter; the IEA’s October report described a fragile rebound in Gulf supply, with Hormuz flows up to 10.9 million barrels a day in September and bypass exports at 5.6 million, while warning that middle-distillate supply would stay tight well into 2027. Brent’s expiring December contract settled at $117.64 on 30 October, after touching $118, while the January contract that became the front month settled at $113.43 the same day; the $4.21 gap is a roll effect and not a fall in oil. Measured on the January contract, Brent fell to a settlement low of $94.62 on 4 November as US midterm results lifted bets on a settlement, and closed the week at $98.32 on 6 November, down 13.3% on the like-for-like basis (the 16% weekly fall widely reported measures from the expired December contract and mixes the two), the steepest weekly fall since 2020. After the cut-off, Brent settled at $92.57 on 9 November. A central bank cannot add a barrel of oil, so the policy question is how much of this passes into core prices, wages and expectations.

The distinction between a temporary shock and a structural change rests on four tests: whether core inflation rises, whether wages respond, whether expectations drift, and whether inflation outlasts the energy price. At the cut-off the first-round effect is large (euro-area headline 4.0% against core 2.5%) while the second-round tests are mostly unmet. The projections of the BoE, RBA and Bank of Canada that inflation stays near or above 3% through 2027 are conditional on energy prices and on pass-through, and they show that a supply shock can lengthen the policy horizon without being permanent. A supply-driven shock also makes the trade-off harder than a demand-driven one: tighter policy lowers demand without restoring supply, so the cost is borne in output and employment. Surveys add a warning from the US: S&P Global’s October services PMI (56.1) reported average prices charged rising at one of the fastest rates in four years, while the euro-area composite PMI (51.7) fell to a four-month low.

Divergence, Exchange Rates and Capital Flows

Three observations follow. First, every major yield curve has a positive ten-year term spread, between 0.75 points in Germany and 2.25 in France, so the long end is pricing more than the current policy rate everywhere, and by most in the sovereigns with the weakest fiscal positions. Second, the dollar behaved as a safe haven in a week of equity losses (the S&P 500 fell 2.7% on the week and 4.4% on 5 November) and then strengthened on the payrolls report, with the euro falling 0.8% on the day to about 1.114 although the ECB was on hold. Third, the yen at about 158 despite two BoJ increases shows that divergence in policy-rate levels still dominates the exchange rate; the BoJ would need a much faster pace of normalisation or a weaker Fed path to change that.

For international capital allocation the implication is that hedged returns, not nominal yield gaps, drive flows. Higher Japanese yields and a stronger dollar pull in opposite directions for Japanese investors; a weaker euro raises the cost of hedging into the dollar for euro-based investors; and a PBOC that anchors policy at 1.25% overnight, with the one-year LPR at 3.0%, offers a low-yield alternative. The renminbi has moved opposite to the yen: onshore USD/CNY was near 6.67 after a gain of more than 5% this year, and the PBOC acted on 3 November to slow it. Official-sector demand and the dollar’s safe-haven role in a risk-off week are the evidence that the dollar-centred system is not yet displaced, even as the Treasury market is the centre of the fiscal and term-premium debate. One limit on US spillovers: the Governing Council’s September account records an ECB staff estimate that US term-premium shocks now explain about 20% of the variation in euro-area term premia, down from the largest share previously.

Fiscal Pressure, Real Rates and Term Premia

A government can face higher borrowing costs while its central bank holds, because it borrows across maturities and the long end prices fiscal supply, inflation risk and term premium. The financing loop is: higher long yields, higher refinancing and interest expenditure, more pressure on the balance, possibly more issuance and a higher term premium. It is a risk mechanism, not an automatic outcome, and it differs by country. The ECB’s statement that fiscal uncertainty may tighten financing conditions shows that central banks are watching it, but nothing in the October decisions indicates fiscal dominance: the ECB debated a hike, two Fed members dissented for one, and the BoE raised. A central bank that is tightening into higher government interest costs is showing independence, not subordination.

On real rates, the ten-year US TIPS yield was 2.62% on 6 November (Treasury real yield curve) and ten-year breakeven inflation 2.23% (FRED series T10YIE), so almost the whole of the 4.86% nominal yield is real. The equilibrium real rate is unobservable and estimates are wide; our companion analysis of the Treasury market reports a New York Fed term-premium estimate of 0.89% in September. For the euro area, ECB staff put the nominal equilibrium rate i* at 1.75–2.75% in the third quarter of 2026, which places the 2.50% deposit rate inside that range. The ECB’s Economic Bulletin 6/2026 attributes the synchronised global rise in long yields since late 2024 largely to higher real term premia, whereas the Governing Council’s September account judged domestic factors and revised policy expectations the dominant drivers for the euro area, with term premia also rising from their late-2024 trough. The ECB publishes no single headline term-premium series; the non-official NIESR tracker puts the German ten-year term premium at about 1.3 percentage points and steady in September, the UK’s at 0.83 and the US range for 2026 at 0.65–1.00. A real yield well above most estimates of the neutral rate is consistent with a positive term premium, a tight expected path or both, and the data cannot separate them. What can be said is that the fall in nominal yields of about 42 basis points over five weeks has come with a stronger economy, not a weaker one, which argues against reading the earlier peak as pure recession pricing.

Connecting the Update to the Broader Framework

A. Globalisation and strategic autonomy

The shock is a live test of the resilience premium. Bypass pipelines, emergency stock releases by IEA members and rerouted flows have restored much of Gulf supply, which shows that resilience investment limits the damage; but record tanker rates and distillate tightness show its cost. Monetary policy cannot supply resilience. If countries respond with strategic stocks, defence and energy infrastructure, the short-run effect is higher demand for capital, labour and energy before productive capacity expands. Whether that is inflationary or productive depends on timing, and the Fed’s description of strong productivity and robust investment is the best current evidence for the productive reading.

B. The structural repricing of government bonds

The October decisions show the five channels of our earlier analysis operating together: policy rates (up in eight of nine economies), real yields (high in the United States), inflation-risk premia (energy-driven), term premia (positive curves everywhere) and sovereign issuance (record German plans, French deficits). They also show a limit on the structural reading. The sharp fall in oil and in the US ten-year yield in the first week of November shows that long yields still respond to the energy channel, so the repricing is not yet independent of it. We see our companion paper on the return of the bond bear market as a hypothesis whose first strong test is an oil decline that fails to pull long yields down.

C. Sovereign debt sustainability

Higher financing costs bear unequally. The United States combines a large deficit with rising interest outlays; France has the visible spread and political calendar; Italy has the highest debt ratio among the large issuers but a lower spread than France. In all three the effective interest rate adjusts only as debt is refinanced, so a prolonged high-yield regime matters more than a spike, and the pressure on central banks arises through financing conditions rather than through any loss of operational independence.

D. The global monetary system

The dollar strengthened as a safe haven and on stronger data, the euro weakened despite an ECB that was holding, the yen stayed weak despite hikes, and the renminbi appreciated by more than 5% this year while the PBOC moved its anchor towards an overnight rate, raised the FX reserve ratio and kept lending benchmarks flat. The exchange-rate divergence is therefore not simply a strong-dollar story. Gold was near $4,075 in December futures, but we do not attribute that level to a cause. The evidence is consistent with a system in which the dollar remains the safe asset while the cost of holding dollar duration rises, and in which three central banks (the Fed, the BoJ and the PBOC) face constraints that the exchange rate transmits to the others. It does not show a break in reserve allocation, which the data do not yet address.

Testing the Thesis: A Structurally More Difficult Monetary Environment?

The strongest case for the thesis is that tightening has been almost universal, that the ECB itself attributes part of its tightening to long-term rates and fiscal uncertainty, and that term spreads are positive in every curve. The credible counterarguments are five. The energy shock may fade, as the first week of November hints. Strong US productivity and investment may expand supply and raise the neutral rate without raising inflation. Wage growth and expectations show no second-round effect in the euro area or the United Kingdom. A demand contraction, visible in Canadian jobs and the equity sell-off, could do the work that rate increases would otherwise have to do. And central banks that act early on a supply shock may be preventing, not signalling, a structural shift.

Our verdict is graded. The environment is harder in 2026 than at any point in the previous decade for the central banks covered, and the dispersion of stance is real. The structural claim, that the cost of capital is permanently higher and that monetary policy now operates under durable supply-side constraints, is a hypothesis that the data neither confirm nor reject. It will be tested in the first quarter in which energy prices fall and long yields, term premia and sovereign spreads are observed separately from them.

Three Scenarios for the Next 6–18 Months

The scenarios are analytical frameworks, not forecasts, and carry no probabilities. The data at the cut-off contain elements of all three: falling oil and yields (Scenario 1), a strong jobs report and rising hike odds (Scenario 2), and an equity sell-off with weakening Canadian labour data (Scenario 3). They differ in what central banks do, in how long yields respond, and in which indicators separate them.

Scenario 1 is the cyclical reading, in which policy rates reached their peak as the shock faded. Scenario 2 is the structural reading, in which the 2026 tightening is the first stage of a longer period of restrictive policy because supply-side inflation and fiscal supply persist. Scenario 3 is the financial-stability reading: a combination of high headline inflation, weakening activity and tight funding that can split short-term policy rates from long-term sovereign yields and strain banks and sovereigns that are already under pressure. The scenarios are not exclusive over the horizon: an energy-led disinflation could be followed by a fiscal-led rise in term premia.

Falsification Criteria

The assessment that the monetary environment is becoming structurally harder would be weakened or rejected if:

1. Energy prices fall materially and stay lower while core inflation and wage growth continue to moderate.
2. Inflation expectations stay anchored through a further period of high headline inflation.
3. The Fed, the ECB and the BoE can cut rates during 2027 without a renewed rise in inflation.
4. Long-term yields, term-premium estimates and sovereign spreads fall together with oil, so the long end proves to be a function of the energy channel.
5. The French spread narrows without fiscal consolidation, and issuance increases are absorbed without a rise in term premia.
6. Strong US productivity growth is confirmed in the data and permits growth without inflation, lowering the case for a higher neutral rate.
7. Supply chains and trade prove resilient without large additional investment costs.

Conversely, persistent energy inflation, broadening domestic price pressure and high long-term financing costs after oil has fallen would strengthen the case for a structurally more difficult regime.

Global Monitoring Dashboard

The most informative pairing is inflation expectations with long yields. A fall in near-term inflation expectations accompanied by rising long-term yields would point to a larger role for real term premia or sovereign financing concerns. It would not by itself establish fiscal dominance.

Conclusion: A Harder Environment, Not Yet a Proven Regime

The October and November decisions reveal a global monetary system under more constraints than at any point in the previous decade. Eight of nine major central banks have tightened in 2026, three of them in splits that leaned hawkish, and the ECB is relying on long-term financing conditions to tighten for it. The divergence that matters is in stance and in constraints, not in direction: real policy rates range from about −1.5 to about +2.1 points, the Fed and the BoJ face hawkish minorities, and China is moving its anchor to an overnight rate while keeping lending benchmarks flat.

What the evidence does not yet show is that the higher cost of capital is independent of the energy shock. It shows a shock large enough to move every central bank, a fiscal and term-premium channel that moves long yields on its own in France and the United States, and an ECB staff finding that higher real term premia have driven much of the global rise in long yields since late 2024. It also shows long yields, oil and inflation expectations falling together in the first week of November, and core inflation and wages that have not broken. The framework developed in our earlier research on globalisation, strategic autonomy and the repricing of government bonds remains the right lens, because the question for the next six to eighteen months is whether long-term financing costs stay high when the energy shock fades. If they do, the policy rate is no longer sufficient to describe financial conditions; if they do not, 2026 will be remembered as a large supply shock met, in the main, by orthodox policy.

Data and Verification Note

Corrections to the supplied draft. The RBA decision was taken on 3 November, not 4 November, by a 6–3 vote that the draft omitted. The Bank of England’s decision was announced on 5 November after a meeting ending 4 November. Norges Bank decided on 4 November and published on 5 November, unanimously. The Riksbank’s increase takes effect on 11 November. The Fed and the ECB had both raised rates earlier in 2026, so ‘paused’ understates the cycle; the draft’s claim that the evidence does not show synchronised tightening is replaced by the finding that direction converged in eight of nine banks. The PBOC’s move to a 1.25% overnight operating rate on 2 November was not in the draft. Brent had fallen about 13% in the week before the cut-off, and US payrolls and the equity sell-off of 5–6 November post-date the draft’s framing.

Limits. The Bank of Canada does not publish individual votes. Governors’ remarks are quoted from the official ECB press conference record (Lagarde), Reuters’ translation of the Bank of Japan press conference (Ueda) and the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Report and minutes; Bloomberg-reported remarks by the BoE Governor are not used. Since first publication we have verified: the US real yield and breakeven, Canadian employment, UK core inflation, the ECB bank lending survey, manufacturing and services PMIs for October (euro area, US, UK, China), the USD/CNY level and the PBOC FX reserve measure and September supplementary-lending cut, the ECB’s neutral-rate range, Brent and WTI settlements, and the December meeting dates. Fed pricing: CME’s FedWatch page returned a server error when we tried to retrieve it, and its data are available only through a subscription API, so the 6 November figure (about 77%) is the CME FedWatch reading as reported by a market publication, attributed to CME FedWatch as CME requires. It is cross-checked against Reuters’ futures pricing for the 9 November close (about 85%), an OIS-based estimate of 82% and the Kalshi, Polymarket and Totalis prediction markets (75–78% on 9 November), which agree on direction and rough size; the exact 6 November CME value can be read from the tool’s historical tab. Brent: ICE’s December contract expired on 30 October at $117.64 and January settled at $113.43; the like-for-like weekly fall to the 6 November settlement of $98.32 is 13.3%, and the 16% figure widely reported mixes the two contracts. The 4 November settlement is $94.62 (down $8.98, or 8.7%, per Reuters); a published figure of $93.52 conflicts with Reuters and with the day’s intraday low of about $93.22–93.52 and is not used. Term premia: the ECB publishes model decompositions but no single headline figure; the figures quoted are from the non-official NIESR Term Premium Tracker (September data) and the New York Fed. Market data come from market summaries and quote services and are indicative; euro-area core inflation and the October flash estimate are as reported from Eurostat. Ex-post policy-rate gaps use unharmonised inflation measures. Charts are not included because no consistent verified time series could be assembled for the cut-off; Tables 1, 2 and 4 are the intended chart inputs.
