Working with the XAG/AUD series
Silver against the currency of a major silver-and-gold-producing economy — both legs carry commodity exposure, partially cancelling: XAG/AUD often moves less than XAG/USD in commodity-wide episodes. That makes it a relative-value series more than a directional one. The daily archive here is young (2013), so long-horizon statistics are off the menu regardless.
