    I bought an ounce for grins at that time and just sold it for 60% gains.

      I would think normally they are static-ish inverse but during transition periods like now there would be pricing gaps for example as people flee dollar to go to gold, velocity on gold changes might be higher

        Gold is going up in other currencies too, so it’s not just the USD going down and mathematically making the Gold price in USD go up.
