What If — Cross-Asset Analysis: Stocks vs Gold vs USD
The What If page analyzes correlations between EGX stocks, gold, and USD across multiple time windows (30 / 90 / 180 days) — showing which asset moves which, and how strongly. Useful for anyone holding a multi-asset portfolio (stocks + gold + certificates): picking good assets isn't enough, you need assets that don't all move together in the same direction during stress. The model uses Pearson correlation on daily returns, presented as an easy-to-read matrix.

Frequently asked
Why does cross-asset analysis matter?
Knowing how gold, USD, and EGX stocks move together lets you build a balanced portfolio — if USD rises while gold falls at the same time, you need to know that before piling into a single asset.
How is correlation computed?
Pearson correlation on daily returns over 30/90/180-day windows. Values range from -1 (perfectly inverse) to +1 (perfectly aligned). Near 0 = no relationship.
Is gold always inverse to USD?
In global markets, yes. But in Egypt, gold priced in EGP = global price × USD rate — so when USD rises, EGP gold price rises too. Positive correlation locally, not inverse.
