Cat:

Line 2: US $ will rise.
Line 4: lowers $US
That's about as coherent as ever.

Also the market, as you predicted after today's Fed Funds rate increase, was CATegorically  a CATastrophe. 

Nice going on all fronts!!!!!!!!

Here's a hint for you: strong U.S. economic data tends to lead to a strong U$ and higher interest rates which is usually negative for commoities (gold = commodity.)

Today after the Fed raised the Fed Funds rate, we saw bonds rally strongly (interest rates declined), the U$ declined and commodities (gold included rise.) As previously mentioned, the Fed Funds rate and bond interest rates are two very different things and can go in opposite directions, exactly what we saw this afternoon.

While these are not perfect 1:1 relationships, this is the general tendency and how these various relationships tend to work over time.
