Of course, one would expect gold and silver futures to move in tandem, to correlate closely, with each other. They’re both precious metals, aren’t they? But silver is also a by product of copper mining. Would they tend to trade together-or contrarily?
Similarly, one might expect price activity in Euros and T-bonds to be similar. Conversely, the Swiss Franc and the Dollar Index should have opposite reactions to the same market input.
A primary rationale behind the continuing bull market in stocks has been declining interest rates. How closely, in fact, have T-bond and SP500 futures tracked each other on a daily basis?
For years traders have made a very non-fundamental connection between the silver and soybean markets. How closely have they traded?
Heating oil and crude oil-yes. But live cattle and the J-Yen???
Some brief explanation is required. The singular relationship under consideration is the frequency of duplicated up/down daily closings. E.g., if Market A closed higher on Day 1, did also Market B? (In that respect, the study is qualitative, not quantitative, i.e., the amount is irrelevant.)
Without going into further details of least-squares and scatterplots, the precise statistical terminology that describes each relationship is a sample coefficient of correlation, a number greater than -1 and less than +1. Thus, if, every day over the sample period, each of two markets duplicated the other’s higher or lower closing, they would have a coefficient of correlation equal to 1/1, or +1. Conversely, two markets that always closed contrarily to each other would have a coefficient equal to -1. A 0 value indicates no correlation whatsoever. For convenience, however, all values in the spread sheet have been stated in terms of percentages of +1 or -1.
Remember, the amount of change is irrelevant, which can account for differences in trend.
