If you really want to have fun, do a long-term correlation between gold and the $US, and you will find there is none.

The two tend to go in opposite directions at times:
- like the last 5 years

Appear to have a relationship at critical junctures:
- dollar started rally in late 1995 followed by gold top in early 1996
- the rise in gold about 6 months ago appears to be related to recent topping action in dollar

... but the long-term statistical analysis does not support what your eyes see on the chart. We humans have a tendency to see patterns where they do not exist in an attempt to rationalize our random reality - aka life ;)
