    By way of clarification . . . the DXY is an index derived from selected weighted currency exchange rates.

    None of the countries issuing these currencies claim any equivalency with gold.

    Their currencies can be made plentiful with the swipe of pen.

    Not quite so easy with gold.

    The currencies of the main producers of new gold ( China, Russia, and Australia )

    are not considered in the DXY calculation.
