your question:
"The better question is why the DM price of gold is rising while the price in US$ is not, when Germany's inflation is less than half of the US's?"

my answer is laced throughout
I will state it more concisely

rising gold price in DM terms is an aberration from the falling DM currency
gold is steady as a rock in US$ terms (the world's common denominator currency)
hence gold rises inversely in DM terms as DM slips versus US$

also, Europe is soon to import some inflation
as a result of its weakened currency
all imports are to become more expensive
rising gold price in DM terms confirms this future expectation
but this confirmation is secondary to the US$/DM/gold relationship

Europe does not have inflation now
gold is a future indicator of inflation (not current indicator)

I see this as plain as the perfect nose on my face

if you disagree with most of my post, why not delineate what you disagree with?

then maybe counter with a thoughtful cogent argument?

then close by providing a link of the other posted message where you stuck a sharp object in my dorsal facade?

to simply disagree carries zero weight, and zero convincing of my shortcomings or your superior constructs
