Predicting returns with a cross-asset momentum model

In this section, we will create a cross-asset momentum model by having the prices of four diversified assets predict the returns of JPM on a daily basis for the year of 2018. The prior 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year of lagged returns of the S&P 500 stock index, 10-year treasury bond index, US dollar index, and gold prices will be used for fitting our model. This gives us a total of 16 features. Let's begin by preparing our datasets for developing our models.
