7 more narratives are Quiet (0.5% or less of US 10-Year Bond’s coverage over the last seven days) and appear in the full list.

Why Quiet is common: most narratives are not written about in a given week. A narrative needs more than 0.5% of the asset’s coverage over seven days to be anything but Quiet, and at least three articles in a week to be called Emerging, Accelerating or Fading.
