Overview
Relationship
These move opposite each other about 55% of the time
Strong enough to use as a signal — read the stability and regime notes below before relying on it.
Read
When one moves up, the other tends to move down.
The saved window keeps correlation, overlap, alignment, and freshness anchored to the same computed record.
What to Watch
Unusual right now
Recent correlation (+80%) is 2.6σ from the long-run average of -70% — pair is behaving differently than usual.
IG Bond Spread moves ~7 weeks before M2
Watch IG Bond Spread for an early read on M2.
Decouples in drawdowns
Correlation weakens when both fall (-4%) vs when both rise (+28%) — don't count on this pair as a hedge under stress.
Regime-dependent
The correlation has flipped sign across time windows — not reliable as a standalone signal.
Time Series
Time-Shifted Correlation
See how correlation changes when one series is offset in time. A taller bar at a non-zero shift means the two move together better when one leads the other — that's a potential lead/lag signal.

Correlation at this shift
-76%
+6% stronger than no-shift baseline
M2 shifted 7 weeks earlier. Reads: "Does IG Bond Spread today line up with M2 7 weeks from now?"

Baseline
-70%
No-shift correlation, matching the main time-series chart above.
Peak shift
+7 weeks
-76%
A non-zero peak suggests one series lines up better when shifted against the other.
Deep Dive
Stability
How the correlation evolves over time. A stable line means the relationship is reliable; large swings signal regime-dependent behavior.
