Watchlist Snapshot

What we're tracking in 2026

Defense & Aerospace

ITA, XAR, PPA. NATO spending commitments create a multi-year structural tailwind through the cycle.

AI & Semiconductors

SMH, SOXX, and leaders in infrastructure compute. Watching for distribution signals after extended markup.

Gold Miners

GDX, GDXJ. Elevated spot gold on CPI re-acceleration and sustained central-bank buying is shifting the miner-to-metal ratio — watch GDX/GLD for confirmation of a true mining-cycle leg. (Check QuantDash for the live gold price; this is a watchlist thesis, not a price level.)

Uranium & Energy

URA, URNM, XLE. Nuclear renaissance + stable oil demand frames a multi-year accumulation.

Small-Cap Breadth

IWM breadth expansion would confirm cycle continuation into broader markup.

Tanker & Shipping

Freight-rate cycle data plus geopolitical premium for niche cycle plays.
