As The Dow Jones Craters due to the high CPI Inflation numbers, Gold is up along with the 10yr bond. Some people are asking will gold price increase or will gold price go down ? Are gold prices high right now or why gold why now ? The CPI is lame, which inflation rate to use is the real question & how inflation works or why inflation happens is what you need to understand. Don't believe the Government inflation metric called the CPI .
