You can trade one or all of those.
But knowing how they each impact the will increase your likelihood of success.
And they each offer a catalyst for your trading in the coming weeks ...
Bonds
Did you know the bond market is twice as large as the stock market? And trends in bonds are hugely impactful for stocks and the economy as whole?
I spent a large portion of my career in global bonds in places like London, Switzerland and Shanghai -- and my experience is this area is one of the keys to my trading success.
I've worked for the biggest Wall Street banks and I can tell you this -- given where we are in this economic cycle, you want to be long bonds.
For me, that means the iShares 20 Plus Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT).
So here's Catalyst No. 1:
If TLT goes above $108, it's on its way to $120, so watch for the breakout. And if it trades down to $104, I like it as a buy because we continue to make higher lows.
Stocks
The S&P 500 is the playing field here. Right now, the Fed is at a point in its policy cycle known as a "pause." That's when the central bank holds on raising interest rates but the economy is not yet in recession ...
The last two times this has happened, before the 2008 financial crisis and ahead of Covid, it sent the S&P 500 soaring 22% each time -- followed by a crash.
I foresee a similar move -- and it could be within the next 60 trading days.
That's Catalyst No. 2:
If SPX goes above 4,200, the breakout is on. If it first trades to 3,950, that's a great spot to buy as our lows trend higher.
Gold
As the Fed starts to print money to stave off inflation, gold will soar.
In fact, it's ahead of the curve, with a rally that started last October. The next breakout will come on signs of a Fed move to quantitative easing.
Catalyst No. 3:
The gold breakout level is 2,089 and a great place to hop in is on a move down to 1,950.
The Dollar
Last but not least is the dollar -- a huge signal as to what the market might do.
And the dollar index -- DXY -- may be the MOST important catalyst for global money flows in the months ahead.
Catalyst No. 4:
If DXY breaks below 100, it's time to make your move.
To recap, the FOUR CATALYSTS FOR YOUR NEXT 60 TRADING DAYS are ...
