How to Read the Table

Each cell of the table shows the correlation coefficient between the two currency pairs (vertical headings) over the corresponding time period (horizontal headings). The following categories indicate a quick way of interpreting the table values. Note that a negative correlation means the two currency pairs correlate in the opposite directions (e.g. when the price for one goes up, the other one goes down and vice versa)

  • 0.0 to 0.2 Very weak to negligible correlation
  • 0.2 to 0.4 Weak, low correlation (not very significant)
  • 0.4 to 0.7 Moderate correlation
  • 0.7 to 0.9 Strong, high correlation
  • 0.9 to 1.0 Very strong correlation
