Gold does not directly correlate with the dollar. This couple has ceased from trading inversely to each other for many years. It’s very common to see a strong dollar and a strong gold rally, as well as a weak dollar (like right now) along with a weakening gold price (like right now).

The volatility index is screaming at us. History says that we are in one of the most make-or-break moments for stocks in the past three decades.

In WW2, in order to defeat the German army and save Europe from total annihilation, both the Russians and Americans fought a common enemy, which was Hitler’s nightmarish vision for Europe and, indeed, the world.
