RawRadar field guide
Four lenses. One evidence trail.
A headline move is only the starting point. RawRadar separates price, physical conditions, flows, and macro forces before drawing a conclusion.
02 · Physical radar
Premiums + supply
Track the real-world price and availability of physical metal.
- •Retail premiums and dealer spreads
- •Wholesale versus finished-product availability
- •Inventory and supply-chain context
03 · Flow radar
Positioning + demand
Read fund flows, futures positioning, and retail attention together.
- •ETF and official-sector demand
- •Futures positioning and fund behavior
- •Retail attention without treating popularity as proof
04 · Macro radar
Rates + currency
Put metals moves in the context of real yields and the dollar.
- •Nominal and real yields
- •U.S. dollar and cross-currency effects
- •Policy expectations and competing explanations
How to use this framework: compare sources with matching timestamps, distinguish observed data from forecasts, publish the strongest counter-case, and avoid treating any single signal as a personal investment instruction.
