The recent dip in the dollar is frightening as it declines against gold and peer currencies. Where does gold figure in the monetary system now - and might the U.S. again confiscate gold?

Just take a look at the chart of the U.S. dollar Index and you see a frightening sight. If it sinks any further its support will have evaporated. We have watched all this week the gold price rise and look good in the dollar. But in the euro it has barely moved.   Against the Swiss Franc the dollar looks so weak. With the Technical picture looking so poor, one turns to the fundamentals to see if they conflict or support a downturn for the dollar...

GOLDGold closed at $1,412.50, down $23.25 on the day. The combination of a possible Arab mediation of the Libyan crisis, higher interest rates in Europe, improving US employment numbers, lower crude oil prices and 190+ rally in the U.S. Stock Market took the momentum out of the Gold markets today.

GOLDIt would be very healthy for the future of the Gold price if it could just stabilize in the $1,400 to $1,420 for a couple weeks.
