What will ignite a precious metal rally to new all-time highs?
We often discuss the dollar and real yields as critical catalysts for a sustained uptrend for gold and silver. It’s simple: These shiny rocks will struggle if the dollar and rates continue to rise.
But there’s more.
I want to share another crucial piece of the puzzle – commercial positioning.

In this weekly note, we highlight 10 of the most important charts or themes we’re currently seeing in asset classes around the world.
The 30yr Retests Prior Cycle Highs
The US 30yr yield refuses to break below its prior cycle highs. This is a logical level for yields to find support and churn sideways which could mean more messy action for long-duration assets such as bonds and growth stocks.

I want to share with you a trade idea I wouldn’t have considered a year ago.
I balked at first. This trade’s simply not in my wheelhouse. But I’ve learned so much here at All Star Charts over the past three years.
And “to be open-minded” has been one of the most impactful lessons.
Now, this setup has my full attention. Risk is well-defined, and the upside potential is heavily skewed in our favor.
I can see the spin on the pitch.

It’s the weekly bond edition of What the FICC?
I thought it was odd bonds didn’t react to last week’s rate hike. Regardless, the lack of volatility represents a positive development for risk assets, especially stocks.

Markets don’t always trend higher or lower. In fact, traders often deal with churn – which sometimes is nothing more than a range-bound mess.
“Sideways” is a trend that’s all too easy to forget after last year’s historic volatility. Even bonds became risk assets in 2022!
I found it odd when bonds failed to react to last week’s rate hike along with other long-duration assets.
But the lack of bond market volatility might be exactly what risk assets, especially stocks, need right now.
