US Dollar to British Pound vs US Electricity Generation
US Dollar to British Pound and US Electricity Generation correlate at r = +0.43 over 27 years (1999–2025), p = 0.027. With the time trend removed, r = -0.54. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is 0.43, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes -0.54. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
