Benchmark Metrics
USD/PLN has an annualized alpha of 0.16%, beta of 0.22, and R² of 0.09 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 04, 2007.
- This currency participated in 35.97% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 22.63% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.22 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.09 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 0.09 means this currency moves largely independently of S&P 500 Index — capture ratios reflect limited market correlation rather than active downside protection. Consider using a more representative benchmark.
