I think you need look no farther than the US dollar. See: fx.sauder.ubc.ca/cgi/fxplot?b=USD&c=CAD&c=EUR&c=XAU&rd=91&fd=1&fm=1&fy=2003&ld=31&lm=12&ly=2004&y=daily&q=volume&f=png&a=lin&m=0&x= You will know when it has decoupled from the USD when gold breaks above the Euro and C$. My C$0.02 (now worth $0.016954) HA

Gee, how about the fact that we are in the early stages of a commodities melt-up. Many base and precious metals are near, at or above historical highs in nominal terms, and headed higher. There is a growing shortage of raw materials to feed the economies of India and China, who lead this boom. This is the the first since the U.S. became and industrial power that it's changing economic circumstance has not been lead a raw materials boom. This time, the world is facing a situation where it will not have enough of many types of commodities to sustain growth in many places at the same time. This boom, therefore, is likely to end in a blow off of biblical proportion, IMHO, and may even result in the world returning to a hard money system once again.
