RE:"Gold normally follows commodity prices and oil prices or even predicts
their price movement, but not this time."

Gold used to lead/predict the commodities. At least when it wasn't sold in mass quantities by central banks. This spike is simply a relief rally, supply demand thing. The
inflation part has been building for some time now but the CBs masked it while trashing gold.

"full" money control?

- - Uncle Sam's Clean Sweep - -

The Clinton administration has rolled out yet another new plan to fight money laundering. This one would extend reporting requirements to brokerage houses, casinos, and check-cashers. The new rules would also increase international cooperation in investigations of criminals who seek to run their money through legitimate businesses.
As always, the war on drugs is the driving force behind the crackdown. The idea is that if drug dealers cannot be stopped from amassing millions, at least they can be stopped from spending them.
Also included is an interesting little distinction of "rogue jurisdiction" for any country which refuses to go along with the controls on currency flows. The U.S. would seek to punish such states by making it harder for them to get bank loans and otherwise mucking with its finances until it plays ball.
Sounds like supra-national racketeering, but there is no law against that.
