US on the cusp of the world'sgreatest oil and Ng boom in the history of the world. What does that have to do with gold? If you look at a historical oil and gold chart overlap, you will see gold almost always follows oil prices, the reason is oil prices is the indicator of future inflation or deflation. This abundance of oil will insure that inflation stays in check, couple that with increases in automation that is keeping labor costs from rising, the latter also an indicator of inflation. The two things that cause inflation seem to be in check. Now what about the 20,000,000,000,000 trillion US debt? How will that effect gold prices moving forward? I'm thinking the powers that are does not want the USD to weaken, because the US imports so much from around the world, if the USD weakens that would drive up costs of things in the US, and through millions of their citizens into poverty, because many can hardly make it now. Point is other than the astronomical US debt, I'm thinking there is not reason gold should move higher. Any insight would be appreciated. Maybe Dent who is a gold bear has a point?
