I am aware of the phenomenon. What I am hoping for is some fundamental insight as to *why* the two markets behave that way. Being an option trader, measuring correlations is part of my routine. And the said correlation has been unusually strong lately, in several time frames.

Although I never trade on fundamentals alone, I would still be interested in the economical basis for this occurrence, and would be grateful if someone could come up with a fundamentally-oriented explanation.

Best regards,
Michael Suesserott
