    I should have been more specific. I meant intraday over the past 2 or 3 trading days. Of course over the long run there is going to be no correlation, but the market seems hyperfocused on this recently.

    Was curious if this was quantitatively noticeable and could be explained in this way.

  3. I would think not... Very hard to see correlation intra-day between such distinct asset classes.
