Correlation calibration on seasonal assets

July 18th, 2007, 6:15 am

Good morning all,Quick Question for you:What are the most common ways of estimating historical correlations between a seasonal asset (Natural Gas) and a non-seasonal one (Brent for example)? Is a de-seasonalisation approach like X11 appropriate for Natural Gas? Is it better to perform analysis on relevant time bucket samples (considering each calendar month seperately) ?
