Correlation is not static. In bull markets, assets dance independently. In bear markets, they crash in sync. This is correlation under stress, and it's where diversification often fails. Your assets are uncorrelated.. until they aren’t. Stress binds everything. In a crisis, gold falls. Bonds fall. Equities fall. Liquidity becomes the only factor. Everyone sells what they can, not what they want to. 🔥 2008. 🦠 2020. 📉 2022. These weren’t just market corrections. They were also correlation explosions. All models failed because they assumed stability in relationships. Stress killed the math. Correlations rise toward 1 in crises. Why? Margin calls, fear contagion, risk-off flows. You thought you were diversified. Turns out, you were just in a crowded theater with multiple exits locked. During normal times: – Equity ↔ Bonds: negative – Equity ↔ Gold: negative During market stress: – Equity ↔ Bonds: positive – Equity ↔ Gold: positive
