Cross-asset correlations

Over the past 90 trading days, S&P 500 and Gold were moderately correlated, with a correlation coefficient of +0.47. A value near +1 means they move together, near −1 they move opposite, near 0 there is no linear link. For portfolio diversification, low or negative correlations are valuable – they smooth out volatility.

S&P 500 ↔ Bitcoin	+0.44
S&P 500 ↔ Gold	+0.47

Summary

In summary, July 22, 2026 was a day of a mixed picture across the markets Alysly tracks: 39 of 79 assets closed higher. The headline came from Silber at +3.6 %. Across asset classes, precious metals led (+2.2 %) while crypto lagged (+0.1 %). The correlation between S&P 500 and Gold was moderately correlated (+0.47) – a gauge of how much diversification benefit combining the two currently offers. For long-term investors, though, single trading days are noise: what matters is broad diversification across asset classes, regions and time – not any one day's move.
