Thanks for invite, there is good relationship amongst Dollar, Crude Oil and Prices of Gold whether these are inverse relations or not. Because this relation depends on stock of crude oil and gold and stock of dollar. Its natural relationship.

An increasing oil price results in increasing inflation, negatively impact the global economy, particularly oil-dependent economies such as the US. Apart from increased transportation, heating and utility costs, higher oil prices are eventually reflected in virtually every finished product, as well as food and commodities in general.

The Cruid oil is being traded in dollar, as and when the price of oil increases, the inlfation comes and dollar automatically increases, the prices of gold also increase as a reserve is required to print new currency.

Reduction in oil prices diffuse inflationary pressures

Low inflation means Stronger Dollar Value

Dollar price tend to maintain a parity with gold price.

A notional price reduction for gold in other currencies.

Always there is an inverse relationship between gold prices and exchange Ata higher the dollar price of gold fell because of all the currencies of countries in the world related to the amount of gold reserves located in those countries, but the dollar is otherwise required to cover

Stronger the dollar weaker are the prices of commodities like gold and oil. This is primarily because oil and gold are pegged to USD.

In the financial markets, gold is usually ascribed to the commodities category. In this group of assets you will find your good old friend, silver, along with several others metals like platinum, palladium, copper etc. Apart from that, commodities encompass a broad range of other products in the like of corn, but also crude oil, gas, minerals and other. Such groups of assets are usually traded on commodity exchanges specialized in this kind of products, for instance on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the London Metal Exchange.

 

Commodities differ from stocks or bonds in the fact that, usually they have significant importance for some industry. For example, silver is used in the production of electrical conductors and oil is used as fuel for various kinds of machines. The main difference from a financial point of view is that, other than bonds and stocks, commodities do not give you cash flows in the like of dividends, coupons or the principal. The only way in which commodities generate returns (excluding industrial applications) is when their price changes in the direction you bet on.

 

Since price changes are of crucial importance for commodities investors, relationships between these commodities are often examined in detail to establish if prices of one commodity can fuel prices of another. It is, for instance, almost universally acknowledged that there is a strong relationship between prices of gold and silver, where the price of silver strongly depends on the price of gold.

 

Most precious metals investors have probably analyzed the gold to silver ratio more than once in their investment career, but such relationships can be found not only between metals. It is argued that prices of gold and oil are also related. Higher price of oil would translate in higher prices of gold. Since there is no apparent intuitive connection between what happens with oil and what happens with gold, there is need for some explanations here.

 

The main idea behind the gold-oil relation is the one which suggests that prices of crude oil partly account for inflation. Increases in the price of oil result in increased prices of gasoline which is derived from oil. If gasoline is more expensive, than it’s more costly to transport goods and their prices go up. The final result is an increased price level – in other words, inflation. The second part of the causal link is the fact that precious metals tend to appreciate with inflation rising (in the current – fiat – monetary environment). So, an increase in the price of crude oil can, eventually, translate into higher precious metals prices.
