Benchmark Metrics
AUD/USD has an annualized alpha of -3.76%, beta of 0.35, and R² of 0.30 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 23, 2007.
- This currency participated in 58.85% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 27.55% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.35 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.30 this currency is largely uncorrelated with S&P 500 Index — low beta reflects independence, not downside protection. See the Volatility section for a true picture of this currency's risk.
- R² of 0.30 means the benchmark explains less than half of this currency's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
