Macro & Catalysts

The macro backdrop for why this book sits in precious metals, materials and energy — the real-rate and dollar regime, the scheduled catalysts that move the book's sectors, and a sector-tagged intel stream. Contextual and descriptive, tied to the founder's own book — not a market-wide feed and not advice.

Macro Cockpit

Real Rates & the Dollar

US 10Y Yield^TNX

4.48%+0.22%

The nominal long rate — the opportunity cost gold trades against.

US 5Y Yield^FVX

4.23%-0.05%

Belly of the curve — sensitive to the policy path.

TIPS ETF (real-yield proxy)TIP

108.3+0.15%

iShares TIPS — a transparent proxy for the real-rate direction that drives precious metals.

US Dollar Index (DXY)DX-Y.NYB

100.9-0.53%

A stronger dollar is a headwind for dollar-priced metals and materials; a weaker dollar, a tailwind.

Precious Metals

GoldGC=F

4,137+1.33%

The anchor of the book's precious-metals sleeve.

SilverSI=F

61.39+1.45%

Higher-beta than gold — the book's silver-miner exposure keys off it.

PlatinumPL=F

1,632+2.03%

Industrial-plus-precious crossover metal.

Industrial Metals & Energy

CopperHG=F

6.17-0.08%

The electrification bellwether behind the industrial-metals / materials sleeve.

Uranium ETF (URA)URA

43.23+0.12%

Global X Uranium — proxy for the nuclear-fuel materials theme.

WTI CrudeCL=F

68.50-0.12%

Sets the tape for the energy sleeve and the broader inflation impulse.

Natural GasNG=F

3.21-0.31%

Weather-and-storage-driven energy leg.

Public benchmark quotes via Yahoo Finance. Real-yield direction is proxied by the iShares TIPS ETF (no clean free real-yield print exists) — labelled as a proxy, not the series itself. Descriptive market context, not investment advice.

Data notes & what's next

The cockpit reads live public benchmarks (Yahoo Finance). The calendar is a curated starter set: deterministic cadences (weekly / daily fixings) are computed forward, while authority-scheduled events (FOMC, CPI, ECB) link to the official calendar rather than a guessed date. No economic prints are ever fabricated.

Next integration: Live economic-calendar feed for confirmed date-times + (post-release) actual/consensus/prior values. Candidate feeds — Financial Modeling Prep — /v3/economic_calendar (free tier, date+actual+consensus+prior); Finnhub — /calendar/economic (free tier, country-filterable); Trading Economics — /calendar (richest, paid).

This desk is descriptive market context tied to the founder's own book and public benchmarks — not investment advice and not a solicitation to buy or sell any security. Scheduled events and quotes are sourced and attributed; past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.Full disclaimer
