<p>I’m looking for example of two goods/wealth that demonstrate inverse/negative correlation. For example if price of <code>A</code> rises then price of <code>B</code> falls. May be it is oil or gold prices along with some other wealth. Or may be some share prices (stocks) of some two companies. I can’t find example of such negatively correlated prices data.</p>

Among different QA communities (Quora, Reddit) StackExchange is the most aggressive one.

I’m looking for example of two goods/wealth that demonstrate inverse/negative correlation. For example if price of `A` rises then price of `B` falls. May be it is oil or gold prices along with some other wealth. Or may be some share prices (stocks) of some two companies. I can’t find example of such negatively correlated prices data.
