Gold doubled in price and the Dollar at a 3-year low. How much blame falls on Trump's shoulders?

I guess you missed that the dollar and gold are both world currencies. Maybe your high school education did not cover that. If so many were worried that as you put it inflation and chaos was coming then the Dow should also reflect that same worry.
Ever hear of AI?

that is what has been driving the stock market. The economy is faltering and as such, the rally in the stock market does not reflect it!

As far as education (both from school and from Life's experiences), I have 10 times more than you!
 
Why has Gold doubled in price and the Dollar fallen to a 3-year low during Trump's campaign?

That is my question
And yet you attribute it strictly to Trump without understanding we are talking globally. Other countries are not real excited with the U.S. running a continual debt. They do not mind putting faith in gold.
Somehow you keep dismissing the fact that the Dow has continued to climb. If everything were because of Trump and only Trump then the Dow should be flat or dropping.
Continue yelling the sky is falling.

So now AI is buying up shares in the Dow to somehow prop it up? Is that what it has been programmed to do so that there is no panic?
As far as education you have never shown much of that.

The DOW has continued to grow because of AI

AI is becoming the 'magic fix' as America places 'one big ...

That says it all!
 
Again do you think AI is pulling money out of its pocketbook and propping up the Dow?
You should realize that is not happening. AI is not buying up stocks, it is not running companies. It is not telling people that the Dow will continue to rise while the dollar and the economy loses.
Some people may rely on AI to make economic decisions for them but if they do they are fools.

You are telling this BS to me? a man that has been a successful stock market analyst for 49 years and has worked (and got trained by) for the 2 biggest companies in the industry in the 80's!

You are a lunatic

Obviously you are not that successful if you do not understand economics
 
Gold has doubled in price, and the dollar has dropped in price to a 3-year low, and all of this happening since Trump took office in January of this year.

How much blame should he be charged with.

What’s happened to the price of gold this year?

The price of gold has risen more than 50 percent since the start of 2025 in a historic run for the asset. Much of the surge has been fueled by United States President Donald Trump, who returned to the White House at the start of the year.

Gold prices rose sharply in April when Trump launched a trade war against much of the world, and it rallied again in August as the US president attacked the independence of the Federal Reserve – the US central bank.

Anxious Investors Push Gold Above $4,000 an Ounce for the First Time

Gold, often seen as a haven during times of turmoil, is on course for its best year since 1979, when prices surged over 100 percent during a period of high inflation, a depreciating dollar and a geopolitical crisis in the Middle East.

There are uncomfortable echoes of that past surge today, said analysts, who attributed the recent rise in gold prices to demand from investors looking to shift away from U.S. assets at a time of political upheaval and uncertainty, highlighted by the government shutdown. The gold rally also reflects a strong undercurrent of unease among investors, even as stocks have repeatedly set records, giving Wall Street a bullish air.

Dollar slides to 3-year low on report Trump plans to name next Fed chair early

This articles above says it all. Since Trump took office, there is turmoil, political upheaval, uncertainty, as well as fear of inflation rearing up ahead (given that Gold is always the safe haven chosen when inflation goes up).

These FACTS (Gold doubling in price, and Dollar down to multi-year lows) means that Trump's actions are being seen much more of a negative to our nation than them being a positive.

This is not opinion but fact, given that money talks! This is not Democrats worrying (and crying) about Trump, but everyone scurrying to find ways to protect themselves against the consequences of Trump's actions!
DOW Is at a record high. Gold was going up long before Trump. Biden had 4 years to wreck the economy
 
Child you are so far off it is not even funny. I do not like Trump but hated the last administration which at least pretended Biden was in charge. Wish we could find decent candidates but the democrats have gone completely crazy and the Republicans are just barely better

Gold rose
27% in 2024 and 13% in 2023. There are several reasons for the rise in Gold and silver. (you forgot silver)
Most of it is probably 'speculation' of what may be, not necessarily what is.
There is also geopolitical forces in play, also.

Too bad you missed your buying opportunity, Banker. I can see where that would suck for you.

Well, we do agree on ONE thing, we (as citizens of the U.S.) have not been given good choices to pick from over the past 9 years!
 
15th post
but, but, but Trump promised to fix all of this on day1
in 9 months wages are up inflation slowing tax cuts for the middle class and seniors increased spending power, DOW at record highs, tariffs will pay off the deficit in 2 years, gas and oil down, works fir me. Biden had 4 years to wreck the economy.

I didn't hear him say a word about the price of gold, Banker.
I think that's what you WANTED him to say for the sake of a gotchya.

Nobody can predict the price of gold except for maybe short term.
There are just too many variables for any long term prediction.
You're not very good at this Banker.
