Understanding the Data
Global Markets vs Major Indexes
The tearsheet provides two complementary views of equity markets: Global Markets (ETFs):- Country/region equity exposure via tradable ETFs
- Prices in USD reflecting investable returns
- Useful for portfolio allocation and cross-border comparisons
- Example: SPY at $500 represents S&P 500 exposure
- Direct index point values as reported by exchanges
- The “headline numbers” you see in financial news
- Useful for precise index level tracking and benchmarking
- Example: S&P 500 at 5,000 points
- Major Indexes: When you need exact index levels (e.g., “What’s the S&P 500 at?”)
- Global Markets: When comparing country allocations or building ETF portfolios
- Both: For comprehensive market analysis combining index benchmarks with investable vehicles
Multi-Period Performance Analysis
The seven timeframes enable different analytical approaches: 1D (1-Day): Current market sentiment and intraday volatility5D (5-Day): Weekly trends and short-term momentum
1M (1-Month): Near-term trends, filters out daily noise
3M (3-Month): Quarterly trends, captures seasonal patterns
6M (6-Month): Medium-term trends, business cycle positioning
YTD (Year-to-Date): Calendar year performance tracking
1Y (1-Year): Long-term trends, filters out short-term volatility How to Use Multiple Timeframes:
- Consistent momentum: Asset positive across all periods (strong trend)
- Acceleration: Returns increasing as timeframe shortens (1D > 5D > 1M)
- Deceleration: Returns decreasing as timeframe shortens (potential reversal)
- Divergence: 1D/5D negative but 3M/6M positive (pullback in uptrend)
Interpreting Cross-Asset Patterns
Risk-On Environment:- Equities up (especially emerging markets and small-caps)
- Commodities strong (oil, copper, industrial metals)
- High-yield currencies outperform (AUD, NZD, BRL, ZAR)
- USD weak, crypto strong
- VIX low
- Safe havens lag (gold flat/down, JPY weak)
- Equities down (especially high-beta markets)
- Safe haven assets bid (gold up, JPY/CHF strong)
- USD strong, crypto weak
- VIX elevated
- Defensive markets outperform (US, Switzerland)
- Industrial commodities weak
- Commodities strong (energy, agriculture, metals)
- Real assets outperform
- Inflation-sensitive currencies strong (commodity exporters)
- Small-caps may lag large-caps
- Commodities weak (especially industrial)
- Safe havens bid (gold, treasuries)
- Developed market equities outperform EM
- Currency weakness in commodity exporters
Commodity-Specific Insights
Energy Complex:- WTI vs Brent spread shows US vs international oil dynamics
- Natural gas often trades independently (regional supply/demand)
- Gasoline/heating oil reflect refined product demand
- Gold: inflation hedge, safe haven, real rates proxy
- Silver: industrial + monetary metal (more volatile than gold)
- Copper: economic activity indicator (“Dr. Copper”)
- Platinum/Palladium: auto industry demand (catalytic converters)
- Weather-driven (droughts, floods impact supply)
- Seasonal patterns (planting/harvest cycles)
- Grains (corn, wheat, soybeans) often correlated
- Softs (coffee, cocoa, sugar, cotton) more independent
Currency Insights
Major Pairs:- EUR/USD: most liquid, eurozone vs US economic divergence
- USD/JPY: risk sentiment proxy (strong yen = risk-off)
- GBP/USD: UK-specific + Brexit considerations
- AUD, NZD, CAD: correlate with commodity prices
- CAD: oil-sensitive
- AUD: iron ore, coal, gold
- Higher beta, more volatile than majors
- Sensitive to Fed policy, USD strength
- Country-specific risks (politics, central bank policy)
- High volatility, 24/7 trading
- BTC often leads, altcoins follow with amplification
- Risk-on asset class (correlates with growth equities)
Use Cases
Index Level Tracking
Monitor exact S&P 500, NASDAQ, DAX, or Nikkei levels for precise benchmarking and headline reporting.Portfolio Risk Management
Monitor cross-asset correlations to assess portfolio diversification and identify concentration risks.Tactical Asset Allocation
Use multi-period performance to make short-term tilts across equities, commodities, and currencies.Macro Theme Validation
Confirm macro themes by checking if expected relationships hold (e.g., rising oil → CAD strength, risk-on → EM equity outperformance).Market Breadth Analysis
Compare performance across major US indexes (S&P 500 vs Russell 2000, NASDAQ vs Dow) to assess market participation.Volatility Monitoring
Track VIX alongside equity performance to gauge fear levels and potential market stress.Inflation/Deflation Hedging
Track commodity prices and real asset performance to adjust inflation hedge positioning.Currency Hedging Decisions
Monitor major pair trends and emerging market currency volatility to inform FX hedging strategies.Commodity Exposure Timing
Use multi-period momentum in commodities to time entries/exits in commodity-linked investments.Crypto Portfolio Management
Track relative performance across major crypto assets to rebalance crypto allocations.Cross-Asset Arbitrage
Identify mispricings between related assets (e.g., gold vs gold miners, oil vs energy equities).Practical Tips
Quick Cross-Asset Scan Workflow
- Check major US indexes: S&P 500, NASDAQ, Russell 2000 (breadth and leadership)
- Check VIX: (fear gauge - high = elevated volatility/risk-off)
- Check broad equity indices: SPY, EEM, EFA, VEU (global risk appetite)
- Check safe havens: Gold, JPY, CHF (fear gauge)
- Check commodities: Oil, copper, gold (growth/inflation signals)
- Check currencies: USD proxies, EM currencies (capital flows)
- Check crypto: BTC, ETH (risk appetite, speculative positioning)
Spotting Regime Changes
Look for divergences across timeframes:- 1D/5D negative but 3M/6M positive: Potential buying opportunity (pullback in uptrend)
- 1D/5D positive but 3M/6M negative: Potential bear rally (bounce in downtrend)
- All periods turning positive together: Trend change confirmation
