description The relationship between commodities market and equities market has been known to have a negative correlation close to no correlation and generally have no volatility spillover exists between both of the markets. Therefore, there is diversification benefit as while one market is going down, another market is going up to offset the losing position in the down market.

To conclude, the relationship has to be further analyse to acquire a better understanding of the relationship as it is not as easy as just following the traditional theoretical views.
