Data & method
Transparent signals beat black boxes.
AgAu.ai separates live market data, daily macro inputs, weekly positioning data and slower official-sector updates so visitors know why some drivers move every minute and others move monthly or quarterly.
Signal framework
Macro first. Physical demand promoted. Charts last.
The order is deliberate. Price action matters, but AgAu is designed to explain the forces behind the move rather than chase the chart.
| Driver | Freshness | Purpose | Current approach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold and silver spot/futures | LIVE / Daily | Price context | TradingView/live widgets plus engine market data. |
| Real yields | DAILY | Opportunity cost of holding metals | Public macro data / rate proxy. |
| Fed policy/news | DAILY | Policy language and rate expectation pressure | Curated official/news source feeds. |
| US dollar pressure | DAILY | Currency tailwind or headwind | Dollar proxy in the engine and live ticker context. |
| ETF flows | DAILY / Weekly | Western investor appetite | Public ETF commentary and upgrade-ready data layer. |
| COMEX positioning | WEEKLY | Crowding, short-covering potential and speculative pressure | CFTC COT scoring in the engine. |
| Central-bank demand | MONTHLY / Quarterly | Structural official-sector demand | Manual/public proxy until licensed source improves automation. |
| Physical demand | WEEKLY / Proxy | Premiums, coin/bar demand and tightness | Strategic proxy, upgrade-ready for premium feeds. |
| Miners | Daily / Live | Equity confirmation of bullion strength | GDX/GDXJ/SIL/SILJ market and news layer. |
| Chart momentum | DAILY | Confirmation, not the thesis | Moving-average and RSI-style scoring inside the engine. |
Why this matters
Slow-moving data is not stale if it is labelled correctly.
COMEX positioning is weekly. Central-bank demand is slower. Physical premiums can be fragmented. A good metals platform should show this clearly rather than pretending every input is live.
Upgrade path
As AgAu grows, higher-quality feeds can improve source depth without changing the public logic: macro, flows, positioning, physical demand, miners and momentum remain the framework.
