Not in terms of the supply function of gold as a commodity. Printing money=inflation will only be a variable if it kicks in substantial investment demand for gold as money. Have you seen any evidence of that being the cause of this rally? I don't think so, although it might at some point. This is a structural change (not unimportant) rally relating to gold's use in finance schemes (carry trades, speculative short selling attacks, and producer "hedging"). This is now potentially being unwound.
