> the monthly data set graphed above verifies this hypothesis, with a correlation of –0.87 It is interesting to note that the timeframe used included 1996-to-date, one of the strongest periods of inverse relationships between gold and the dollar (the other strongest period was 1985-1987) During other timeframes, there were many periods that gold and the dollar went the same way. A daily analysis (3783 days of data) from 1985 shows a correlation of .139, which almost makes them look like completely independent variables Regression Output: Constant 118.366 Std Err of Y Est 7.978 R Squared 0.139 No. of Observations 3783.000 Degrees of Freedom 3781.000 X Coefficient(s) -0.064 Std Err of Coef. 0.003 Another example of "proving" whatever you need to by correctly selecting data and timeframes.
