Intro to Investing 101
There is an inverse correlation between $Gold Futures(DEC4) (GCmain.US)$ and the $USD (USDindex.FX)$. On some days or weeks the correlation is not as apparent as other times. But if you follow gold and the dollar then this correlation would be obvious.
The fact that it is traded as a currency pair on forex markets makes this inverse correlation a strong pattern that rarely changes.
This chart will make it obvious. The chart below shows the tickers $Powershares Exchange Traded Fd Tst Db Us Dollar Index Bullish Fund Etf (UUP.US)$ and $SPDR Gold ETF (GLD.US)$ in the same chart.

Currency markets just opened up and, wouldn't you know it, gold is down and the dollar is up.
The data is out there all over the place. Even google will tell you.

solo invest : I've been investing for about 5 years. I learned about this inverse correlation a couple years after I started investing. I wish I would have known this on day one. It's good to point this out to the new investors
SpyderCall OP solo invest : i wish i knew this on day one as well
Skyyd solo invest : Why is this important?
SpyderCall OP Skyyd : well for example if you wanted to go long on gold then you would want to at least wait until this dollar rally is over.
MonkeyGee : Yes, I know the inverse collation of Trump vs Biden stock market!
SpyderCall OP MonkeyGee : lol. big difference between the two markets for sure
SpyderCall OP Skyyd : have you noticed how the dollar has been dropping the past couple weeks and gold has been ripping. This is very profitable and investable info. It seems like basic knowledge but you could have made a lot of money going long on gold over the past couple weeks.
