Cross-Asset Correlation

Co-movement of daily changes across the dry-bulk classes, the tanker indices and marine fuel.

Eight of the 24 published pairings carry evidence behind them, and the strongest sits inside one complex: Handysize against Supramax at +0.32. Marine fuel sits apart from all of it, every one of its seven freight readings inside ±0.15.

Deeper colour is a stronger reading; thinner samples and weaker evidence paint lighter. Cells that clear the evidence bar are ringed. Select any cell for its detail.

The whole board on one axis

Every non-definitional pairing on a single scale, so the spread of the board and how much of it carries evidence read together.

the freshest reading on the board

The board carries 28 pairings. Four of them sit between the composite index and its own size classes: definitional rather than a market reading, so they are greyed in the matrix and are excluded from the read above, the block roll-up and the axis plot. The block roll-up groups 22 of the remaining 24; two readings fall outside these four blocks and are carried only by the matrix and the axis plot. Each reading rests on 60 to 95 overlapping days inside a 116 to 136 day window. That is short, and the colouring is scaled accordingly. Eight of the 24 clear the evidence bar today and are ringed; the rest are shown but should not be leaned on. Association over a short window, not causation, and not advice.
