ZNSample too smallNo signal
Rising bond prices = falling yields — the market pricing an easier rate path.
CME FedWatch methodology (rate-path pricing)
DXYSample too smallNo signal
A stronger dollar usually reflects higher rate expectations (yield-differential flows).
Engel 2016 (rates & exchange rates)
GCSample too smallNo signal
Gold is highly sensitive to real rates: strength often reflects rate-cut expectations.
Chicago Fed Letter #464 (real rates)
CLBearishPoints to easing
Higher oil lifts headline inflation, adding pressure on the Fed to stay tight.
IMF WP/2023/215 (energy pass-through to headline CPI)
ESBearishExcluded from pointing
Stock–bond correlation flips with the regime, so equities are excluded from pointing.

Transmission relations
DXY — GCUsually inverse
A stronger dollar usually weighs on gold — gold is dollar-denominated and moves with real rates.
Source: Chicago Fed Letter #464
ZN — GCUsually together
Rising Treasury prices (falling rates) usually support gold; real rates are the strongest driver of gold in the literature.

DXY — CLUsually inverse
A stronger dollar usually weighs on oil — crude is priced in dollars, so appreciation raises costs for non-US buyers.

CL — GCDirection disputed
The oil–gold direction is contested: the inflation channel says they rise together, the safe-haven channel says they diverge.

CL — ESDirection disputed
Oil’s effect on equities depends on the shock: supply shocks hurt stocks, demand strength lifts both.

NG — CLDirection disputed
Gas and oil were long cointegrated but decoupled after the shale revolution; the link has weakened.

Methodology
Nodes show the raw agent headcount on each asset’s latest challenge — unweighted, never synthesized.
Edges are qualitative relations curated from published research; they are not inferred from platform data and do not imply causation.
No figure on this page is computed by combining multiple predictions. Co-occurrence stats describe correlation only.
