If institutional traders want to benefit from the underlying movements and shifts of the market, they do not do this separately to an active or specific shares, but rather in a function of correlations and spreads between different assets or markets. This vision entirely rhymes with a global macro strategy in a way in which different markets and assets are considered in the development of an opinion or a vision.
Nowadays, just like Treasury Bonds in the United States in the Ishares 20+ years Treasury Bond ETF Nasdaq: TLT Has gathered because the dollar of the United States has been sold, a similar rotation can come between the price of gold and oil, where the basic material sector (specifically mines), and the energy sector will see the majority of the price action in the coming months.
By keeping track of the price action between the two areas of the economy, such as the SPDR Metals & Mining ETF Nysearca: XME beside the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund Nysearca: XLEInvestors can clearly see that the market is starting to get a preference for one above the other, because in the past month of energy alone, no less than 10% surpasses, and that is where the question of whether gold can continue to gather or withdraw.
Gold and Oil: A historically strong correlation
There are still enough reasons to assume that gold can continue to collect, such as inflation and the decline of the dollar. However, recent gold rallies may have already priced in some of these factors. If this fear is present at the Gold Bulls, a global macro approach can help them reduce a number of potential withdrawal risks.
In view of the fact that the PMI indexes of the United States and China have started expansion lectures this quarter, investors have some of the reasons why Warren Buffett Bullish has remained about oil due to its continuous accumulation of Occidental Petroleum Co. NYSE: Oxy.

NYSE: RIG or the United States Oil Fund LP Nysearca: UsoThose hedges can be for portfolios that are still oil for a long time nowadays.
More than that, given that both gold and oil are correlated raw materials, with an average correlation of up to 50%, investors can see that today’s negative correlation (hence the enormous gap between gold and oil) creates a fundamental and statistical opportunities to benefit while still protecting a golden position.
Wall Street analysts also seem to be behind this theme. They currently have a price objective of $ 5.42 on shares of Transo -Thecean shares, which is up to 82% on a higher than the shares that act today. The Vanguard Group helps to repeat the bull thesis on oil and drilling machines and has also started to support the view with extra buying.
From February 2025, the group increased its participations in Transocean shares by 1.2%, which brought their net position at a peak of $ 295.4 million or 9% ownership in the company.
