RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Gold Technicals........This one paragraph alone helps one understand why Gold is beat up. Currently in spite of the FEAR in the markets... with the US dollar up 20% this year not a wonder Gold is taking a beating.. When this trend reverses we know what happens.. The question is when?? How Trends in the USD Affect the Price of Gold
Since gold is quoted in USD/ounce, it should be logical that dollar strength or weakness will affect gold prices. In particular:
- Gold prices tend to increase when the USD gets sold. That is because, in relative terms, Gold becomes more expensive.
- Gold prices tend to decrease when the USD gets bought. That is because, in relative terms, Gold becomes cheaper.
