Benchmark Metrics
USD/JPY has an annualized alpha of -1.38%, beta of 0.26, and R2 of 0.42 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 19, 2007.
- This currency participated in 36.29% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 20.87% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.26 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.42 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 0.42 means the benchmark explains less than half of this currency's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
