    I bought a 5oz gold bar from goldstackers.com.au for my parents yesterday arvo and I was kicking myself for not buying it on Sun night when I would've got it for $8122.

    24hrs later and the same bar now costs $8,933 :O

    Isn't there some significance to $1764/oz, can't remember the guy's name but he said after that's breached, "to the moon" (not exactly in those words).

    The way I saw it explained, when people dump US stocks they end up with US dollars, hence huge demand for the US dollar at the moment.

    I have heard it explained like that as well i.e. You cant trade your shares for gold or anything else without selling and 'transiting' through US Dollars.

    On the international trade market when I buy or sell 1000000 tons of aussi tin to russia,or anything else to anyone,it has to go though the international currency,USD.When those trades stop because of fear,the money ends up in USD.So there is a big demand for USD and it goes up

    I wouldn't be trying to predict the future of the AUD based upon the price of commodities alone nukz. :)

    There are too many variables at play now that make such a tactic too simple. The price of the AUD continues to both confound and not surprise the pundits. A quick scribble on the charts and if we ignore the price of iron ore and coal, but instead consider the QE policies of The Fed (in green) and the BOE (in yellow), we can see another possible explanation for the surge in the Plastic Fantastic. And this doesn't even include China's surge in domestic demand which created the commodities demand post GFC, our strong cash rate and financial/political stability and the Euro crisis which began in late 2009.

    These variables - QE, China, RBA cash rate, Euro crisis and strong economic indicators are all contributing to the strength of the Aussie. The crash of one of these variables alone may not be as devastating as some believe. After all, if you really need more proof of the ability of a zombie currency to walk and breath and survive in the land of the living, then look no further than the putrid Yen, a brand name that is able to exist independently of any connection to reality of the economic health of its parent nation.

    Sure a dip is possible, but then again, you can still get over 4% from ANZ for your deposit. :rolleyes:
