The recent plunge in the US dollar gold price is unsettling but it reflects no dark forces and no sinister conspiracy by Central Bankers. The reason is the strong US dollar, and this strength maybe unusual for this stage of the business cycle, but it is driven by underlying liquidity forces. Specifically, when our PSL index exceeds the Fed CBL index the dollar soars.

In short, its economics not politics that is the problem for gold.
