S&P 500 Correlation

Definition

S&P 500 correlation measures the statistical relationship between the price movements of a particular asset and the S&P 500 index. A high positive correlation suggests that the asset’s price tends to move in the same direction as the S&P 500. Conversely, a negative correlation indicates an inverse relationship. This metric helps investors understand how a specific asset performs relative to the broader United States equity market.
