Gold and Yen : The Odd Couple
Since 2007 ( 10 years) The Yen has been the most co related Currency with Gold
Looks pretty close to 100%

Safe to say IF yen 80 goes Gold goes too !
Ironic isn’t it. Gold Bulls are depending on a strong yen at a time when the Japanese Economy is considered to be a complete basket case and these yen thingies are nearly worthless. I mean you need a bazillion of them to buy a cup of coffee

ZH used to post articles documenting the underlying dynamics of the yen gold hedge that accounted for the close correlation. But it was over my pay grade.
As for me, I have to assume that for the yen the pressure remains down … just as for the dollar it remains up. Over the longer term. I’ll maintain investing biases in accordance with that until something major changes. But trade with the ebbs and flows.
