The
PerfChart below shows six inter-market related ETFs. Notice that stocks are up with the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) leading the way (blue). Bonds are also up for the month and this is strange because stocks and bonds are usually negatively correlated. On the other side, notice that gold, oil and the Dollar are down, which means they are positively correlated. This is also unusual because the Dollar is usually negatively correlated with commodities.
