The dollar is shooting up against all world currencies. This is surely going to hurt US exports.

Commodities of all sorts including copper, not just gold, are collapsing, because they are starting to price in a global economic downturn. Once that is priced in and all the massive credit accommodation starts to make its way into the real economy, that will spark massive inflation, which will blow out the gold balloon again.

I don't own any gold. I don't like it as an investment. It's not a productive asset, so that excludes it from my general investment philosophy.
