I trade in the EUR/USD & GBP/USD pairs. Do you think what currency pairs are correlated against the two pairs? If possible, ask for tips on trading in both pairs? Thanks

Positively Correlated Currency Pairs:

  • EUR/USD and GBP/USD
  • EUR/USD and AUD/CHF
  • EUR/USD and NZD/USD

Pasangan Mata Uang yang Berkorelasi Negatif:

  • EUR/USD and USD/CHF
  • GBP/USD and USD/CHF

These are some of the currencies that have a strong correlation, but there are also some currencies with a weak correlation that you can use to successfully split your risk across several currencies. This is an example of a negative correlation, EUR/USD, and USD/CHF.

What does this mean by a positive correlation? If the price of GBP/USD is going up then EUR/USD also goes up? Or vice versa?

@Oscar Chapman Yes, right. EUR/USD and GBP/USD are correlated positively. If EUR/USD rises, GBP/USD will also tend to rise if there are no important fundamental factors affecting GBP. And vice versa, if EUR/USD goes down then GBP/USD will also tend to fall.

For now, the opposite direction of the XAU/USD movement is USD/JPY. If XAU/USD moves up then USD/JPY goes down, and vice versa. The one in the direction is XAG/USD (silver). If XAU/USD goes up then XAG/USD also goes up, and vice versa.

Isn't XAU/USD going against US/CHF?

@David Schoppe That's right, apart from USD/JPY, XAU/USD also has a negative correlation with USD/CHF and USD/CAD as well. But the negative correlation between XAU/USD and USD/JPY has higher accuracy compared to USD/CHF. For the negative correlation of the XAU/USD pair, many traders refer to USD/JPY.

Please observe the comparison of USD / CHF and USD / JPY movements against XAU / USD on the following H1 time frame:
