Intermarket Analysis 101: Time to spill some tea on how different assets like currencies, bonds, commodities, and stocks vibe with each other. 📈
This can be a cheat code for traders to unlock fire trading ideas, spot sussy market shifts, or double-check other analysis moves. 🔍✨
Currency price shake-ups usually come from their hookups with commodities, bonds, and stock indices.
Here's the deets on classic intermarket BFFs:
- A sinking U.S. dollar? That's like, hella good for commodities prices. But if the U.S. dollar is flexin', then RIP commodities prices. 💸
- Bond prices taking a nosedive and rates going up? Not a vibe for stocks. But if bond prices are thriving (and rates are chill), stocks usually join the party. 🥳
- Commodities prices on the rise? Say hello to economic growth, which stocks stan. But bonds? Not so much. 📉
