oh well, at the moment, the weak dollar is seen as an additional monetary easing by the stock market, and thus supports it rather than dragging it down. however, when the dollar decline turns into a rout eventually, the stock market will be prone to a several standard deviations panic a la '87 imo.

you must have misunderstood something then. i'm certainly NOT in the 'decoupling' camp - the negative correlation between the dollar and gold is one of the statistically most convincing and persistent correlations that exists in the markets. in fact, a significant decoupling occurred only ONCE, during the bubble phase of the 70's bull market in '79-'80.
i'm only less worried that the dollar will go very far in this correction...maybe a revisit of the 200dma, but i'm not expecting much more at this stage.

according to Saudi Aramco, 48% of Ghawar's ultimately recoverable reserves have been produced. this is the by far largest oil field in the world, and produces the bulk of Saudi output. if this 48% figure is correct, a brutal and swift decline in Saudi oil output is practically imminent. no more 'swing producer' status...and the beginning of the end of the oil era.
