It is noticeable that at times of crises there is always capital flight (specially from emerging markets) into the USD which results in severe debasing of "peripheral" currencies (including ours) & severe dollar liquidity problem.
The US on the other hand has a huge advantage.....it can finance humongous budget deficit by printing unlimited paper without debasing its currency.....Not fair ....but...
So , it is a good sign for EMs to see a weaker USD.
Gold will always behave as a liquid asset that keeps up with inflation.....If we expect asset prices (say house prices) to double within a certain time frame , we should expect gold to double in same time frame.......But there is no reason to expect gold to outpace inflation by a wide margin.
PS: there is no return to the gold standard......The magic word is digital currencies.....I don't think this will affect gold much unless the move to digital currencies will put a lid on inflation.
