Cross-asset correlations

Over the past 90 trading days, S&P 500 and Gold were moderately correlated, with a correlation coefficient of +0.46. 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

In summary, August 1, 2026 was a day of a mixed picture across the markets Alysly tracks: 28 of 73 assets closed higher. The headline came from Uniswap at -6.2 %. Across asset classes, equities led (+0.3 %) while crypto lagged (-1.7 %). The correlation between S&P 500 and Gold was moderately correlated (+0.46) – 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.
