Brian:

You could create a composite security using the two sets of data.
The MetaStock manual describes how to do this.

I don't know how well gold will forecast the bond market, but I 
recall a recent Futures Magazine article that used the CRB Index
and a homemade commodities index to forecast bond movement
with some success.  If you want me to look for the article, send me
an off-list e-mail.
