Across the latest 30 U.S. stock-trading sessions, the two series recorded a 0.80 correlation in daily percentage changes, the highest reading since May 2022.

The figure indicates a strong positive association: the two series tended to move in the same direction. The coefficient describes co-movement; it does not mean the daily percentage changes matched in magnitude. Since 2020, readings generally remained well short of 0.80.
