How to read it

Each cell is the correlation of the two markets' daily percentage changes. Example: if EUR/USD and GBP/USD show +0.85, a long in both is almost one bigger long; if EUR/USD and USD/CHF show −0.90, a long EUR/USD and a long USD/CHF mostly cancel out. Correlation is not cause: it can change after big news.

Questions

What does a correlation of 0.9 or −0.9 mean?

+1 means two markets moved up and down together every day; −1 means they always moved in opposite directions; 0 means no link. Above about 0.7 (or below −0.7) two trades behave almost like one.

Why does correlation matter for risk?

Buying EUR/USD and GBP/USD together when they are 0.9 correlated is close to one double-size trade. Check the matrix before adding a second position, and size them together.

Why do the 20, 60 and 120-day tables differ?

Correlations change with the news. The 20-day table shows the latest weeks, 120 days the longer picture; a big gap between them means the link is shifting.
