We recently decided to see how correlated the S&P Nifty is with Dow Jones (US index) and if they were becoming more or less correlated in recent years. The below chart shows the 20 day correlation between S&P Nifty Index and Dow Jones Index. From the charts one can see that during Mid of May the correlation achieves its peak value(0.93) and from there correlation starts dropping which indicates that S&P Nifty will decouple slowly from Dow Jones Market movements in the upcoming days.
Investopedia Says,
[wp_ad_camp_5]“Correlation is computed into what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. Perfect positive correlation (a correlation co-efficient of +1) implies that as one security moves, either up or down, the other security will move in lockstep, in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if one security moves in either direction the security that is perfectly negatively correlated will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the movements of the securities are said to have no correlation; they are completely random.”

Thank you very much i was looking for this.
Is it possible to have a drop down list instead of having to type in each symbol?
Thanks very much for sharing. I have used and adapted several pieces of your code for my own use. Your code is very understandable! I realize it takes time and effort to share!!!! Dave.
