Forex and metals

Track major forex pairs and metals with the same chat-driven workflow as stocks.

Open forex or metals research from top-bar search or a chat card ticker. Forex pairs and metals each have their own detail view.

1. Forex Pairs​

Forex pairs have their own dedicated detail pages.

  • Layout — A single consolidated page. No tabs.
  • What you see — The price and recent percentage change in the header (loaded when you open the page — refresh for the latest), plus a snapshot with Bid, Ask, previous close, open, and 52-week high / low.
  • Seasonality — A monthly-returns chart with a 5Y / 10Y / 20Y / All lookback selector, for spotting recurring seasonal behaviour in a pair.
  • People Also Watch — related pairs to compare against.
  • Best used for — Understanding the bigger macro picture, checking dollar strength, and getting context for your stock or crypto trades.

The forex page has no price K-line chart. For price-action questions, ask Alphio AI — it can pull rates, K-line data, and technical indicators for a pair in chat.

2. Metals​

Metals have their own dedicated detail pages.

  • Coverage — Nine metals: gold (XAU), silver (XAG), platinum (XPT), palladium (XPD), copper (XCU), aluminum, nickel, zinc, and lead.
  • Layout — Two tabs: Overview (quote, K-line chart with 1D / 5D / 1M / 3M / 6M / YTD / 1Y / 5Y ranges, and metal-specific data) and Technical (technical analysis). The header price is loaded when you open the page.
  • Specialized data — Snapshot figures, a commodity returns comparison across the metals basket, and futures open interest across exchanges such as COMEX, LME, SHFE, and TOCOM. On the gold page you'll also find gold ETF net flows broken out by region.

Crude oil, natural gas, and agricultural commodities do not have metals detail pages. For oil or gas exposure, Alphio AI will point you to tradeable ETF proxies such as USO or UNG.

3. Differences from stocks​

Forex pairs and metals deliberately ship a lighter layout than US Stocks.

  • Lighter layout. No Financial tab — a metal has no balance sheet, and an FX pair has no income statement. Forex is a single page; metals add only a Technical tab.
  • No Stock Price Prediction tab. For directional questions, ask Alphio AI directly (see section 4).

4. Trading these assets​

The Alphio trade rails differ by asset:

  • Forex pairs. Research-only inside Alphio. For execution, use your existing broker.
  • Metals. The metals research pages are read-only — there is no trade action on them. Some commodity and FX perpetuals are listed on Hyperliquid: on the PC web app, find them under Crypto Trade → Perps with the Commodities or FX filter, and trade them through the Hyperliquid Perpetuals rail.
  • Commodity equities. For exposure via US-listed equities (e.g. miners, oil majors), use Stock Trading with your connected broker. ETF detail pages currently have no trade action.

For directional / hedging asks, talk to Alphio AI:

  • "Is XAUUSD overbought right now?"
  • "How has EURUSD reacted in the 48 hours after each ECB meeting this year?"
  • "Show me gold seasonality for the next 3 months."
