How they are linked

1. Price link: co-product

Cost and price · Weak · Both ways

Helium is a by-product of processing helium-rich natural gas, so new supply arrives only when gas plants are built. The proxy index barely tracks the gas price: monthly moves correlate at -0.02 and yearly moves at 0.26, because gas prices do not decide helium output.

• -0.02 monthly change correlation
• 0.26 12-month change correlation
• 0.18 fitted elasticity
