To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Lower Probability Of Stagflation And Recession</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-cooler-consumer-price-index-cpi-spy-mc-05132025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The chart shows the stock market did not break above the breakout line on yesterday's rally.</li>
<li>The chart shows volume yesterday was not heavy, indicating that there is not high conviction in the jump.</li>
<li>Stock market bulls are expecting the market to quickly reach zone 1 (resistance) shown on the chart.</li>
<li>Stock market bears are scratching their heads trying to figure out why President Trump gave China everything it wanted, leaving the U.S with almost nothing in exchange.&nbsp; Bulls respond by saying President Trump has managed to get China to agree to open up to American goods by removing non-monetary barriers.</li>
<li>In our analysis, prudent investors need to remember that China has been promising to open up ever since President Nixon.  China has always talked a good game about opening up, but in reality, it has always maintained restrictions.  </li>
<li>The chart shows the stock market remains below the breakout line after the Consumer Price Index (CPI) came cooler than expected.&nbsp; Here are the details: 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Headline CPI came at 0.2% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
<li>Core CPI came at 0.2% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In our analysis the probabilities of stagflation and recession have decreased.  The reason is the great deal China secured on tariffs.  On the campaign trail, President Trump had promised 60% tariffs on Chinese goods.  Once fentanyl tariffs are removed tariffs on Chinese goods will be only 10%.  As a reference, tariffs on the U.S.'s best ally, the U.K., are also 10%.  The U.S. runs a trade surplus with the U.K. and a massive trade deficit with China.       
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>According to our analysis, the probability of stagflation is now 60%, down from 70% prior.</li>
<li>According to our analysis, the probability of a recession is now 35%, down from 40% prior.  </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the deal with the E.U. will be "a bit slower," but he is optimistic about trade deals with Asian countries.</li>
<li>Ignore the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) this morning – the drop in DJIA is due to UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) suspending guidance.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc (META), NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), and Tesla Inc (TSLA).
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Apple Inc (AAPL).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Microsoft Corp (MSFT).
In the early trade, money flows are positive in S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.&nbsp; Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.&nbsp; The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (ASCA:USO).

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Arora Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  our proprietary Protection Band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

Lower Probability Of Stagflation And Recession, Cooler CPI

WIIM

Gold and silver are trading lower after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could be driving a rotation out of safe-haven assets.

An ounce of gold is now worth more than 100 times an ounce of silver, a rare imbalance only seen twice over the past century — and analysts say it's flashing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/silver">buy signal for silver.</a>
In 2025, gold has emerged as the undisputed leader among global asset classes, soaring to new heights while silver remains notably behind, widening a gap that few expect to last.
Prices of the yellow metal — tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) — surged to $3,500 per ounce this week, notching fresh all-time highs and delivering nearly 30% in year-to-date gains.
Silver, on the other hand, has lagged well behind. The iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>) hovered at $33.50 per ounce, still 33% below its 2011 peak of $50.
Despite the stark divergence, analysts say this imbalance is the exception, not the rule. Most expect the gold-to-silver ratio to revert sharply, implying silver is primed to outperform in the next leg of the precious metals rally.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Could Silver Stage A Remarkable Comeback?</h3>
Goldmoney.com founder James Turk wrote on social media X that a gold-to-silver ratio of 100 is an anomaly and typically marks the beginning of silver's comeback.
"A level of 100 is a rare occurrence in historical context, after which the ratio falls quickly because money floods into silver during bank crises. Silver hasn't lost its usefulness as money. It's just overlooked until the lines form outside of banks,"Turk said.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, technical analyst and founder of The Daily Gold, noted that silver often outperforms gold after gold experiences its first correction following a major breakout.
"Peak or no peak, there is great value in silver and silver stocks now," Roy-Byrne said. "They are poised to strongly outperform in the next leg up."
According to Crescat Capital macro strategist Otavio Costa, the historical context is telling.
"Over the past 125 years, the ratio has only spent brief moments above the 100 level — extremes like this tend not to persist for long."
He added, "I've never seen the gold-to-silver ratio stay above 100 for long, and I don't see any real upside in betting it pushes higher before it turns. This feels like one of the most compelling opportunities I've come across."
Costa's remarks align with past performance. In 2010, the ratio peaked near 70:1 before silver surged 223% from $15 to $48 within 14 months, while gold gained only 45%. Following the 2020 COVID-19 spike to 124:1, silver doubled in price while gold rose by 31%.
&#8220;You're either in the camp that thinks &#8216;this time is different,&#8217; or you stick with history. I'm definitely in the latter,&#8221; Costa said.

A <a href="https://katusaresearch.com/silvers-historic-opportunity-and-the-1001-activation-point/">note</a> from Katusa Research emphasized that silver's so-called "100 to 1 Activation Point" — a signal derived from historical gold-silver spreads — has now been triggered.
Few investors are aware of the "Silver Trade of 1980," the firm noted, when the gold-silver ratio collapsed to 17:1 and silver soared to $50/oz. 
"That means it took just 17 ounces of silver to buy an ounce of gold," Katusa wrote, adding that when this imbalance resets, silver typically outpaces gold by three to five times during rallies.
This activation point has only been reached twice in the past 25 years. Both times, silver's returns crushed those of gold in the aftermath.

Gold Now Worth 100x More Than Silver: Analysts Say It's Time To Buy The Underdog

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Walk Back From The Brink</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-trump-walks-back-tesla-earnings-tlt-mc-04232025">click here </a>for an enlarged chart of iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>&nbsp;The chart shows that TLT was staying below zone 3.</li>
<li>The chart shows the recent rally in bonds after President Trump paused reciprocal tariffs failed.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the rally did not even reach the top band of zone 3 before failing.&nbsp; This indicated high stress in the bond market.</li>
<li>The chart shows that bonds were back in the danger zone ahead of the all important $70B 5 year Treasury auction today.</li>
<li>In our analysis, without President Trump walking back from the brink, there was real danger for the auction today to go poorly and push bonds into zone 4 shown on the chart.</li>
<li>As a member of The Arora Report, you have been ahead of the curve as you knew that the bond market was President Trump's pain point.</li>
<li>President Trump walked back from the brink:
<ul>
<li>President Trump said he did not intend to fire Fed Chair Powell.</li>
<li>President Trump said soothing things about China.</li>
<li>Earlier in the day yesterday, Bessent had laid the groundwork, indicating that the situation with China should de-escalate over time.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Immediately after President Trump's comment about not firing Powell, extremely aggressive buying came in the markets.
<ul>
<li>Stocks sharply rose in the after hours.</li>
<li>Bonds rose.</li>
<li>Oil rose.</li>
<li>Dollar rose.</li>
<li>Yen fell.</li>
<li>Gold fell.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The reason the yen and gold fell was because after President Trump's walk back, there is less need for safe havens.</li>
<li>Earlier in the afternoon, prior to President Trump's walk back, as full disclosure, We had given signals to take partial profits on gold ETF SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), iShares Silver Trust (SLV), Newmont Corporation (NEM).  With the benefit of hindsight, these calls now seem prescient, but only time will tell how good these calls were.</li>
<li>Tesla Inc (TSLA) stock is very popular among retail investors.  Moves in TSLA stock impact sentiment.  After hours, Tesla reported dismal earnings &#8211; the worst in a long time.  Aggressive buying came into TSLA stock when CEO Elon Musk said he would be spending less time on DOGE and more time on his businesses.  This comment from Musk energized Tesla bulls and added to the positive sentiment in the stock market that had started minutes earlier from President Trump's statement.</li>
<li>Adding to the positive sentiment is that India may consider zero tariffs on Harley-Davidson Inc (HOG) bikes.  Musk is also thinking of expanding into India.</li>
<li>There was considerable Fed speak yesterday.&nbsp; Normally, we would have shared with you the important points from the Fed speak in this morning's Capsule.&nbsp; However, President Trump's comments have rendered the Fed speak meaningless.</li>
<li>Investors should pay careful attention to the results of the Treasury auction today.</li>
<li>The Fed's Beige Book will be released today at 2pm ET.</li>
<li>A 20% staff cut at a big company is draconian.  Yet, this is exactly what the new CEO at Intel Corp (INTC) is doing.  Investors love layoffs.  Unfazed by the misery of those who are laid off, investors are cold hearted.  Investors believe the bigger the layoff the better.   Money is flowing into INTC stock on the news.</li>
<li>Adding to the positive sentiment are good earnings from Boeing Co (BA), AT&amp;T Inc (T), GE Vernova Inc (GEV), Boston Scientific Corp (BSX), and SAP SE (SAP).</li>
</ul>

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Independence</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-turbulent-environment-bonds-king-dollar-dxy-mc-04212025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of the dollar index (DXY).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The chart also shows gold ETF SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), Japanese currency yen ETF Invesco CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (FXY), SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), and 20+ year Treasury bond ETF (TLT).</li>
<li>The chart shows that the dollar is falling.</li>
<li>The falling dollar is leading foreigners to sell bonds.&nbsp; The chart shows bond ETF TLT is falling.</li>
<li>Falling bonds are leading to a selloff in stocks in the early trade.&nbsp; The chart shows S&amp;P 500 ETF SPY is falling.</li>
<li>Investors are rushing to buy gold.&nbsp; The chart shows gold ETF GLD is rising.</li>
<li>The chart shows the Japanese yen is rising as many investors see yen as a safe haven.</li>
<li>As full disclosure, gold ETF GLD and Japanese yen ETF FXY are in our ZYX Allocation Model Portfolios.</li>
<li>The foregoing chain reaction was triggered by the Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett saying that President Trump is studying how to fire Fed Chair Powell.</li>
<li>There is a serious legal question regarding the potential firing of Fed Chair Powell.</li>
<li>At this time, it is very important for investors to understand how decisions are being made in the White House and how the Supreme Court is making decisions when the administration&#8217;s actions are challenged.</li>
<li>In our analysis, if Powell is fired, this is how the markets will likely react:
<ul>
<li>The dollar may go lower.</li>
<li>Bonds may go lower.</li>
<li>Gold may go higher.</li>
<li>Japanese yen may go higher.</li>
<li>It is unclear how stocks would react.&nbsp; The reaction in the stock market will come down to who wins the battle:

<li>Foreigners and smart money will likely be the sellers.</li>
<li>The momo crowd will likely be buying.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>On the positive side, President Trump is working on several trade deals.  In our analysis, the announcement of trade deals can potentially bring significant buying into the stock market. Prudent investors should pay attention to President Trump's pain point. On April 10, we shared with you: &#8220;In our analysis, the foregoing played a role, but the real reason for the tariff reversal was likely the rise in bond yields.&#8221;</li>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">In our analysis, yesterday bond yields were getting close to triggering a full blown financial crisis.

<ul>
<li>In our analysis, the pause in reciprocal tariffs exposed President Trump's pain point.  </li>
<li>In our analysis, prudent investors need to keep an eye on President Trump's pain point – the pain point is long bond yields spiraling towards 5%.  </li>
<li>There is a high probability that President Trump will act before the pain point is reached.</li>
<li>If President Trump decides to act, trade deals may cushion a potential drop in the stock market if Powell is fired.</li>

<li>Due to the popularity of Tesla Inc (TSLA) with retail investors, moves in TSLA stock impact stock market sentiment.  TSLA stock is adding to the negative sentiment in the early trade on a report that TSLA may delay a new affordable Model Y for the U.S.</li>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Apple Inc (AAPL), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc (META), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), (NVDA), and (TSLA).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Arora Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  Our proprietary Protection Band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

Selling On Threat To Powell - Dollar, Stocks, And Bonds Fall; Gold And Yen Rise

Futures traders are navigating a minefield <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">as new tariffs</a> send shockwaves across equities, commodities and Treasuries.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Markets Hate Surprises — Especially This Big</h1>
Jim Cagnina, senior market analyst at NinjaTrader, isn't surprised by the ripple effect. "Markets are inherently averse to uncertainty — especially at the scale we&#8217;re seeing with the new tariff regime," he said in an exclusive interview with Benzinga.
With inflation, raw material volatility and global supply chain risks rising, the market&#8217;s mood has clearly shifted to "risk-off."
The S&amp;P 500 futures are already down nearly 15% from their February peak, and Treasuries are feeling the pressure too. "U.S. Treasuries are also selling off big time with the 10 year yield tapping 4.5% in overnight trading," Cagnina noted, calling out the "48-basis-point move" seen last week, as one of the sharpest he&#8217;s seen in years.
As volatility hits the bond market, ETFs like the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEF#NYSE">IEF</a>) or ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TBT#NYSE">TBT</a>) may help traders express views on yields and rate moves.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Crude, Diesel, Metals Are Suddenly Hot</h1>
While some investors retreat, others are leaning in. Cagnina sees an upside in chaos — particularly in energy and metals.
"This environment is creating real opportunities in the energy space — particularly in Crude Oil, Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and Gasoline futures," he said. Traders looking to ride the tariff-driven momentum in energy could consider the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) or Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>), which offer targeted access to oil and broad energy equities, respectively.
Precious metals are also coming alive. "The bullish case for silver is strong and gaining momentum," he added, pointing to persistent supply deficits. Gold, meanwhile, is "finally acting like the risk-off safe haven many investors have been waiting for."
With Cagnina bullish on silver and gold, ETFs like the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>) and SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) offer a liquid way to gain exposure without diving into futures directly.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Where's The Bottom? Watch These Numbers</h1>
For those brave enough to dip into equities, the magic number is 5000 for S&amp;P 500 futures. "The 5000 level has become a key level – sticky, yet still highly reactive," Cagnina explained. 
If it holds and daily price ranges tighten, that could suggest a bottom is in. Even stronger confirmation would come from a close above 5330, a key Fibonacci level that could flip sentiment from bearish to bullish, noted Cagnina.
For those eyeing a rebound in equities, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) remains the benchmark bet, while Invesco S&amp;P 500 Pure Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPV#NYSE">RPV</a>) could appeal to bargain hunters anticipating a turnaround.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Every Day Is An Adventure</h1>
To time the turn, Cagnina recommends keeping an eye on the 8-period Exponential Moving Average near 5300. A close above it would be his green light to shift bullish. 
Until then? "Every day is an adventure,&#8221; he said.

EXCLUSIVE: Tariff Uncertainty Turns Traders Cautious — But Oil, Silver Might Be The Escape Hatch, Says Market Analyst

Gold and silver are trading higher amid a drop in the US dollar index. Trade war concerns and macro uncertainty could lift demand for safe-haven assets.

Gold surged past $3,100, setting a new intra-day high on Monday morning at $3,128 per ounce. Investors rush to safe-haven assets amid escalating trade tensions and uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariff policies, including President Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on imported cars and auto parts and a new round of reciprocal tariffs set to<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44502030/trump-may-slap-a-20-tariff-on-europe-yet-april-still-offers-rally-hopes-for-european-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener"> take effect on April 2</a>.
"Tariff issues will continue driving (gold) prices higher until there is some finality to the tit-for-tat campaign," Edward Meier said per Reuters.
The yellow metal gained nearly 19% in 2025, propped by geopolitical concerns and central bank demand. Over the last 15 years, foreign ownership of US treasuries has converged with gold as a percent of central bank reserves. Treasury ownership sank from 25%, while gold reserves rose from 7% to reach the 15% mark.
As gold continues to break records, major financial institutions have revised their price forecasts upward. Goldman Sachs expects it to reach $3,300 per ounce by the end of the year, up from its previous target of $3,100.
Bank of America sees the yellow metal at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44499732/bank-of-america-sees-new-gold-as-a-buy-lifts-price-target-by-50" rel="noreferrer noopener">$3,063 per ounce in 2025 </a>and $3,350 per ounce in 2026, a significant increase from earlier projections of $2,750 and $2,625, respectively. Macquarie has similarly pointed to strong central bank demand and investor inflows as key drivers behind gold's bullish trend.
Despite silver's solid performance, it has not yet exceeded the high from last October, when it traded at $34.78 per ounce. The gold-to-silver ratio, a popular measure of metal's relative performance, has widened, reflecting gold's stronger momentum.
It now takes 91 ounces of silver to purchase one ounce of gold, suggesting <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43615367/peter-schiff-predicts-silvers-explosive-catch-up-move-as-the-gold-to-silver-ratio-crosses-901-analysts-foresee-silver-prices-to-touch-38-in-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">silver may be undervalued</a>. Historically, traders use this ratio to determine whether to favor gold or silver in their portfolios. When the ratio is high, some investors buy silver, expecting it to outperform gold in the future. Conversely, when the ratio is low, they may shift holdings into gold.
Still, pursuing this strategy doesn't require physical exchange and storage of metal. Trading the ratio is convenient through specialized ETFs that offer exposure to metals. SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) and iShares Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAU#NYSE">IAU</a>) provide direct exposure to gold, while iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>) is a popular option for silver investors. A trader would buy the gold ETF when the ratio is at the lower historical levels and eventually swap for a stake in silver when it gets high.
More aggressive strategies might employ leveraged ETFs like ProShares Ultra Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UGL#NYSE">UGL</a>) and ProShares Ultra Silver (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGQ#NYSE">AGQ</a>), which correspond to double the daily performance of the underlying benchmark.

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Dot Plot And Balance Sheet</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-ai-agents-robots-nvidia-turkey-president-nvda-mc-03192025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of NVDA stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>The chart shows that after a much anticipated keynote speech by Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang, NVDA stock pulled back to the top band of the mini support zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows aggressive buying ahead of Huang's speech in anticipation of NVDA stock going higher.</li>
<li>The chart shows the momo crowd's expectations were not met.&nbsp; Those in the momo crowd who primarily buy call options are now sitting on large losses.</li>
<li>Huang's speech was excellent.&nbsp; Here are the key points from The Arora Report's analysis:
<ul>
<li>Nvidia is doing excellent as a company.&nbsp; There is a disconnect between NVDA stock price and Nvidia as a company.</li>
<li>The biggest market of all will be the market for robots.&nbsp; Nvidia is well positioned to provide AI intelligence and systems for robots.</li>
<li>Human-like AI agents are at the cusp of widespread adoption.&nbsp; These agents are based on reasoning models.&nbsp; Reasoning models need significantly more compute than regular models.&nbsp; AI agents will drive demand for Nvidia's chips.</li>
<li>Nvidia is moving into autonomous driving.&nbsp; Nvidia announced a deal with General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>).</li>
<li>Nvidia is widening its lead over competitors.</li>
<li>Nvidia is strengthening its moat.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Here is the question everyone is asking: In spite of so many positives, why did NVDA stock not rocket up?  </li>
<li>We have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44380831/the-opposite-of-what-wall-street-told-you-about-stocks-has-happened-key-nvidia-event-ahead">previously shared</a> with readers that the problem NVDA stock has is over-ownership.</li>
<li>Nvidia illustrates the beauty of the highly refined, multilayer methodology followed by members of The Arora Report.
<ul>
<li>The original core position in NVDA stock is long from $12.55 and most of the position is still being held.&nbsp; This illustrates the power of the ZYX Change Method to buy a stock when it is in <a href="https://thearorareport.com/ppp-long-trade-ppp">stage one</a>.</li>
<li>The fact that most of the position is still being held, resulting in major gains, shows the foresight that comes from decades of experience.</li>
<li>Along the way, there have been successful, shorter term, trade around positions.</li>
<li>The core position is appropriately hedged to preserve the gains.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The Fed will announce its rate decision at 2pm ET, followed by Chair Powell's press conference at 2:30pm ET.  The Fed is expected to leave rates unchanged.  We will be carefully analyzing the following:
<ul>
<li>The dot plot</li>
<li>The Fed's balance sheet, especially regarding QT</li>
<li>How Powell straddles the uncertainty caused by tariffs</li>
<li>The Fed's take on rising consumer inflation expectations.&nbsp; Rising consumer inflation expectations are the last thing the Fed wants to see.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The momo crowd's historical pattern is to buy ahead of the Fed meeting on hopium.&nbsp; This morning is no different.&nbsp; The momo crowd is buying stocks in the early trade hoping the Fed will help the market run up.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Japan</h4>
Prudent investors keep a close eye on the Bank of Japan (BOJ) due to the impact of the carry trade on stock markets across the globe including the U.S. stock market, particularly tech stocks.
BOJ has been in the mode of raising interest rates.&nbsp; However, after its latest meeting, the BOJ left rates unchanged.&nbsp; This has stopped the rise of the yen.
The primary reason BOJ did not raise interest rates appears to be the potential fallout from U.S. tariffs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Turkey</h4>
Turkey has detained the mayor of Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu.&nbsp; He is the main rival to Turkish President Erdogan.&nbsp; The opposition is calling this "a coup against our next president."&nbsp; Before this development, Turkey had a lot going for it.
<ul>
<li>Turkey will benefit from increased spending in Europe.</li>
<li>Turkey will benefit from thawing relations between the U.S. and Russia.</li>
<li>Turkey has lately engaged in investor friendly policies.&nbsp; As a result, there is a lot of room for the Turkish market to run.</li>
</ul>
The detention of Erdogan's main rival has raised concerns about political upheaval.&nbsp; The Turkish lira crashed as much as 12% on the news.
A big dip in Turkey will likely be a buying opportunity. &nbsp;Turkey has been covered continuously in The Arora Reoprt&#8217;s ZYX Emerging for 18 years.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>

In the early trade, money flows are positive in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust :SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.&nbsp; Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.&nbsp; The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (ASCA:USO).

Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-nvidia-earnings-budget-plan-nvda-mc-02262025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Note the following:

<li>This article is about the big picture, not about an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of NVDA stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>The chart shows NVDA stock is below the resistance zone.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows NVDA stock is neither overbought nor oversold.</li>
<li>The chart shows a nicely profitable recently completed trade around position on NVDA based on Arora signals.&nbsp; The NVDA trade around position was separate and distinct from the core NVDA position that is being held for $12.55.</li>
<li>Nvidia will report earnings today after the close.&nbsp; Nvidia earnings have the potential to move the stock market in either direction.&nbsp; At The Arora Report, we will be carefully listening for future demand.</li>
<li>The momo crowd is ignoring the potential risk to the downside and buying stocks ahead of Nvidia earnings.</li>
<li>The House has passed a plan for the budget.  Here are the key points:
<ul>
<li>The plan calls for $1.5T &#8211; $2T in spending cuts over a decade.</li>
<li>The plan calls for $4T &#8211; $4.5T in tax cuts.</li>
<li>The plan calls for large cuts in Medicaid.&nbsp; Medicaid is a safety net health insurance program for low income people.</li>
<li>The stage is set for a showdown with the Senate.&nbsp; Senate Republicans want larger tax cuts.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The passage of the bill is generating excitement among investors, and they are aggressively buying stocks.&nbsp; As heartless as it sounds, irrespective of your opinion, in the early trade, there is aggressive buying in the stock market for two reasons:
<ul>
<li>Higher income people will benefit more from tax cuts.&nbsp; It is the higher income people who invest in stocks.</li>
<li>Lower income people who are on Medicaid will be adversely affected, but they are much less likely to invest in stocks.</li>

A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">10 Year In Focus</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-trump-focused-on-10-year-tlt-mc-02062025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The chart shows TLT had previously touched the top band of the support zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows yesterday TLT broke out above the top band of the support zone.  TLT took a leg up for two main reasons:
<ul>
<li>Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that Trump wants to focus on the 10-year yield to reduce borrowing costs instead of the Fed's short term benchmark.</li>
<li>The details of the Treasury funding.  Yesterday, we wrote:</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">In an important development, the Treasury announced&nbsp; $125B of securities, from 3 year to 30 year, to refund approximately $106B Treasuries maturing on February 15.&nbsp; So far, the stock market likes this development, and there is aggressive buying on this news.
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Rallying bonds means lower yields.  Rallying bonds are also a positive for the stock market.</li>
<li>Initial jobless claims came at 219K vs. 213K consensus.  This data adds to the murky jobs picture.  The official jobs report will be released tomorrow at 8:30am ET.  The official jobs report may bring clarity to the murky jobs picture and the data may be market moving.</li>
<li>Arm Holdings American Depositary Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) is a British company.  Its processor design is used in over 90% of smartphones, including iPhones.  In The Arora Report analysis, ARM stock is one of the bigger beneficiaries of the future AI move to the edge.  Arm is guiding $0.48 &#8211; $0.56 vs. $0.52 consensus, but whisper numbers have been much higher.  ARM stock is falling on guidance below whisper numbers. In The Arora Report analysis, Arm guidance is raising a concern that the growth of AI to the edge may be slower than the market currently expects.  However, Wall Street firms are coming to Arm's defense and raising targets on ARM stock.</li>
<li>Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) earnings and guidance are better than the consensus and whisper numbers.  However, the stock is under pressure on slowing smartphone growth. As full disclosure, QCOM is in The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.  As the stock market is focused on slowing smartphone growth, in The Arora Report analysis, investors should look forward as Qualcomm will be a major beneficiary of AI's move to the edge.</li>
<li>The reaction to earnings from Arm and Qualcomm demonstrates crosscurrents.  As a reader of The Arora Report, you have an advantage as The Arora Report is one of the rare resources that has a long track record of helping investors successfully navigate crosscurrents.</li>
<li>Dependence on Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has its perils.  Skyworks Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>) has been a main supplier of RF components to Apple.  SWKS stock is falling 28% on the news that Apple is going to shift some of its business to another vendor.  In The Arora Report analysis, the other vendor is likely Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).  As full disclosure, there is a sympathy short trade on this news in Qorvo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>).  It is too late to short SWKS.  </li>
<li>Several food stocks have been under pressure, especially hard hit have been those impacted by rising prices of cocoa.  This morning, sentiment is lifting on these stocks as chocolate maker Hershey Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>) beat earnings.</li>
<li>Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) has been the best performing pharmaceutical stock due to the popularity of its weight loss drugs.  LLY beat the consensus and whisper numbers and provided a very positive update on the pipeline.   In the early trade, LLY stock is volatile in the premarket, having traded at low as $812.18 and as high as $875.  Prudent investors need to note that the wide range in a very short time seen in LLY stock this morning is becoming typical in many many stocks.  As a practical tip, in this market it is imperative to scale in and scale out.  As full disclosure, LLY is in the ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.  </li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.&nbsp; Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.&nbsp; The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (ASCA:USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is range bound.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.

Trump Focused On 10-Year Yield And Not On The Fed, Slower AI Growth Fears Weigh On Arm Stock

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://thearorareport.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2025-01-28_08h07_13.png" alt="" /></figure>
To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Largest Market Cap Loss Ever</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-nvidia-largest-loss-deepseek-nvda-mc-01282025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The chart shows the drop in NVDA stock stopped before it reached the mini support zone.</li>
<li>Volume shown on the chart is very heavy, indicating conviction in the pullback.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows that NVDA is not oversold, indicating there is more room to the downside.</li>
<li>Yesterday, NVDA lost $589B in market cap.  This is the largest one day loss ever for any company.</li>
<li>Yesterday illustrates the importance of diversification and proper portfolio construction.  At this time, many retail investors are almost exclusively in AI stocks – such investors suffered massive losses yesterday.  The Arora Report Model Portfolios are illustrations of how to properly construct portfolios using over 50 different strategies.  </li>
<li>Wall Street is coming to Nvidia's defense. In The Arora Report analysis, further clarity is needed.  Nvidia issued a statement on DeepSeek, but the statement does not provide any clarity probably because Nvidia is in a quiet period prior to earnings.</li>
<li>Americans are willy-nilly installing DeepSeek without realizing it is opening their entire device to China.  DeepSeek is the most popular app in the Apple App Store.</li>
<li>Before the stock market opened yesterday, The Arora Report shared with you that Wall Street woke up after about a month after the prior version of DeepSeek was made available at Christmas time.  We also shared with you our skepticism about the cost of $6M for DeepSeek.</li>
<li>Upon further analysis, The Arora Report now has high conviction that the stated cost of DeepSeek is highly misleading.  This is important because it is the stated low cost figure that panicked Wall Street. </li>
<li>For the first time in 20 years, three remarkable things happened yesterday when S&amp;P 500 declined 1.5%:
<ul>
<li>The number of rising stocks far surpassed the number of declining stocks, 350 vs. 152.</li>
<li>Value stocks surged.</li>
<li>Invesco S&amp;P 500 Eql Wght ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSP#NYSE">RSP</a>) was little changed.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, instead of going into cash, investors exited AI stocks and bought value stocks.</li>
<li>Chips stocks are rising on a suggestion that Trump will place tariffs on imported chips.</li>
<li>There is also a report of Trump potentially imposing a universal tariff of at least 2.5%.</li>
<li>Those in the momo crowd who exclusively buy out of money call options on popular stocks have seen their accounts completely wiped out.  In our decades in the markets, we have seen this again and again – many in the momo crowd make a lot of money by recklessly buying options and then go on to lose their entire accounts.</li>
<li>Those in the momo crowd who still have money are aggressively buying NVDA, Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Cameco Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>), Oklo Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>), Nano Nuclear Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNE#NASDAQ">NNE</a>), SoFi Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>), Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), Rigetti Computing Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>), Quantum Computing Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>), and WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc &#8211; ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WIMI#NASDAQ">WIMI</a>).  WIMI announced it will use DeepSeek, catching the attention of the momo crowd.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, it is important to understand that irrespective of how cheap it may be, corporate America is not going to make a Chinese model like DeepSeek the backbone of their AI efforts.  </li>
<li>Looking forward, we will be careful listening to earnings calls from Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) to see if they are making changes to their capital expenditure plans after DeepSeek.</li>
<li>Durable goods came weaker than expected.
<ul>
<li>Durable goods came at -2.2% vs. 0.4% consensus.</li>
<li>Durable goods ex-transportation came at 0.3% vs. 0.5% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Consumer confidence will be released at 10am ET and may be market moving.</li>
<li>The FOMC meeting starts today.  The rate decision will be announced tomorrow at 2pm ET, followed by Powell's press conference at 2:30pm ET.</li>
</ul>
