Gold is a good one. Assets in general, like house prices (MSPNHSUS on TradingView) but also commodities - oil (proxy for energy price), wheat, beef (human sustenance) are some I commonly look at, as well as stock indices - as long as USD component is cancelled out, it makes more sense to me.

It might reduce corelation but will remain an important industrial indicator because so much of it is still dependent on burning dead dinosaurs (like, all of transportation).
