US Dollar

Well this chart says it all! Maybe I should have analysed the US Dollar instead of Gold! Do you see what I see? Can't really miss it. There currently exists (well for at least the past 2 years) an extremely strong inverse correlation between the Gold price and the US Dollar!

Whilst I will come back to an in-depth analysis of the US Dollar in a future article. However a quick technical take shows that the US Dollar is in a trading range with an upward bias that is likely to persist for the remainder of this year which implies DOWNWARDS PRESSURE ON THE GOLD PRICE!

Why is the US Dollar strong? Strong economy, rising interest rates. US exporting chaos abroad i.e. trade wars that suck in capital from worried foreign and domestic investors as I mentioned in my 21st July in-depth stock market analysis and trend forecast.

And finally here's a unique walk across Westmisnter Bridge, one of the London's top 3 tourist must do's AND in VR 360, so you can look around in any direction.
