XAUUSE rises when the USD dollar value falls

Updated
XAUSUD is shown here on a 15 minute chart. Spot gold priced in USD is a reflection of the

value of gold in the market as spot gold as compared with the dollar value. The dollar value

can be affected by federal economic news such as FOMC meetings as incoming data. A surge

in spot gold could represent a fade in the dollar value. Similarly a fall in gold price could

really be a surge in the dollar value. Everything is in that context in considering federal news

and other macroeconomic events such as global tensions affecting oil prices and oil prices

affecting implied inflation rates. Traders in precious metals and their derivatives need to be

mindful of this. DXY the dollar value has been added to this chart to show visually this

concept for ease of understanding. The rise in gold this past week was in a significant part due

to the fade of the dollar value and then its recovery to correct gold priced in dollars.
