Correlated futures pairs

Discussion in 'Commodity Futures' started by isaac000, Nov 17, 2006.

  1. Besides the below list, what are the most correlated futures pairs with decent volume and trend?

    Crude Oil / Natural Gas
    Soybeans / Soybean Meal
    Live Cattle / Feeder Cattle
    Dollar Index / CHF or EUR (negative correlation)
    S&P500 / NASDAQ100
     
  2. gold / silver is another example

    ps I do not think crude / nat gas is so highly correlated

    as crude / heating oil

    There IS zero correlation between "Crude Oil / Natural Gas"

    Many a trader and a firm has been crushed on this spread. I can attest to this first hand. This psuedo spread holds it relationship until a six sima event occurs like a hurricane and it explodes/implodes.

    Soymeal, Soyoil and soybeans are directly related like crude,gasoling and heating oil. Comparing them to natty.crude is erroneous.
     
  7. Thanks. How about Hog/Bellies? ...and FeederCattle/LiveCattle?

    Which instrument has best correlation with Eurodollars?
