## How to call it through Zero

zero fetch --capability stratalize-credit-spread-benchmark-95e34f0c
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a credit analyst, fixed income portfolio manager, or macro agent needs authoritative, daily-updated risk premium benchmarks from ICE BofA via FRED. Prefer this over manual data pulls when regulated automation workflows require attested data integrity. Best for risk-on/risk-off assessment, portfolio construction context, or credit market monitoring.
