🚨 CONTRARIAN ALERT 🚨

WARNING: you are probably going to hate this post...

Biggest contrarian trade right now?

Short gold, Long treasuries.

Certainly that's where valuations are pointing: gold is showing up as expensive, and treasuries look cheap. But do you dare? πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

This is highly unusual...

Stocks & Gold have become positively correlated --usually they march to an entirely different beat.

Bonds have been doing their own thing, but that's not much to brag about.....

First Gold soared

Then Silver roared

But Base Metals snored...

Is it finally time for some rotation into industrial metals?

Global inflationary pressures may be on the cusp of a major Resurgence...

The rate-cut-rush of 2024/25 has taken monetary policy from headwind to tailwind for the global economy, meanwhile capacity is still tight, and inflation expectations still high.

Keep an eye on #inflation risk πŸ‘€

Two key observations here:
-both Stocks & Gold are Expensive
-the two have trace a similar path

This tells us they have both been riding similar waves of liquidity (and debasement).

There's a good reason the black line looks so different from the blue or grey lines on this chart...

US equities have peaked vs Global on both a relative price performance and earnings performance basis.

It begs the question as to whether this is just another bump in the road onwards and upwards, or the early stages of a major turning point...

Key chart to keep track of. 🧐

Investor allocations to #Gold ETFs remain historically low, despite the Gold Price hovering around all-time highs.

There's just not the same enthusiasm for Gold funds as there is for crypto and tech stocks.

Investors are also opting for physical gold, and central banks are playing a larger role...

The base-building process before last year's big breakout for Gold was a 13-year work in progress...

Something tells me this bull market has room to run just yet.

What do you think?

How much has it got left?

It seems like everyone's excited about gold, but from a valuations standpoint -- we see a much greater opportunity in Commodities.

It's time to talk about rotation: entrylevel.topdowncharts.com/p/chart-of-t...

The July flash PMI slipped slightly... 🧐

But the trend remains higher, and there are a lot of monetary easing tailwinds already baked-in for the global economy.

There are still weak spots and risks for sure, but the upside risks are compelling and not to be ignored.

The US Dollar Index is about to cross the Rubicon...

That black line can basically be thought of as the line of departure between Bull Market and Bear Market.

We think Bear: gold.topdowncharts.com/p/goldnugget...

Can you hear that echo?

It's playing out across Crypto, US Dollar, Gold, and even treasuries...

And here's the kicker, if even one of those pauses, the others may well keep going as the big debasement plays through.
