but surely if gold is denominated in US$, and the $US falls gold will rise - other things being equal.

As you said, "Ah, yes, you'll say, but other things aren't equal". It is possible for a currency to go down relative to a group of 6 others currencies {AKA the US Dollar drops} But up against a larger 150 baskets of currencies. As people say: Gold is the ultimate store of value. Then as such: Gold has no growth. And since it has no growth other currencies can appreciate and depreciate in relation to gold based on inflation, rates, GDP etc. What you've witness in the last year is a US Dollar index climb. This is the US dollar against a basket of currencies, BUT this does not mean that the same basket of currencies hasn't appreciated against other currencies; like the Rand.
