For a while during the height of the risk aversion action EUR/JPY and the stock market were very closely linked.

That relationship has been fairly choppy of late, however, as Zero Hedge observed today.

Here’s a chart of the 1mo rolling correlation between EUR/JPY and the S&P 500. Notice how at several points in the last year it’s been well short of strongly positive and has even gone well negative.
