Cross-asset correlations

Over the past 90 trading days, S&P 500 and Gold were moderately correlated, with a correlation coefficient of +0.44. 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.

Summary

Bottom line, July 30, 2026 was a day of a mixed picture across the markets Alysly tracks: 47 of 69 assets closed higher. The headline came from Brent-Rohöl at +7.3 %. Across asset classes, commodities led (+4.2 %) while equities lagged (-1.4 %). The correlation between S&P 500 and Gold was moderately correlated (+0.44) – 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.
