When bitcoin does well, software stocks do well. But so do tobacco stocks.
Morgan Stanley's cryptocurrency strategy team notes that when comparing
$比特币 (BTC.CC)$ to other asset classes, it has positive correlations to equities, with indexes rising along with the coin.
The
$SPDR 标普500指数ETF (SPY.US)$ has the closest six-month correlation with bitcoin at just above 0.3, followed by the
$纳斯达克综合指数 (.IXIC.US)$, right above 0.25.
It has negative correlations with the
$美元指数 (USDindex.FX)$, around -0.4, gold
$SPDR黄金ETF (GLD.US)$, around -0.6, and the
$美国10年期国债收益率 (US10Y.BD)$ around -0.9.
"Below the (equity) index level, the correlations vary widely across sectors," David Adelman, Morgan Stanley director of equities strategy for the Americas writes in a note.
