Just as a side note, mode=2 is the old fashioned way to specify
mode='full' [1]. This may help in reading the numpy.correlate doc.

This being said, I'm really unfamiliar with cross-correlations. I just
kind of know the usual 95% confidence interval for autocorrelation at
1.96/sqrt(n). Just as a quick check, this is what R uses by default, but
there are options like ci.type get more appropriate intervals for an MA
series
