The US Dollar Index and the VIX Index are the best indicators for observing the current market conditions. The US dollar is still the number one safe-haven asset. If global big capital senses a crisis, they will definitely take two actions: first, flow back into the US dollar for safety. Second, buy the VIX Index for hedging. It takes some time to deeply understand the relationship between gold, silver, and the US dollar. Gold and silver are on the opposite side of the US dollar. The major trend in the coming years is massive dollar printing, and gold and silver will continue to rise. However, in emergencies like the Iran crisis, the US dollar remains the number one safe-haven asset, not gold. Most of the time, gold has nothing to do with "safe-haven" status, unless one day the credibility of the US dollar is truly in question, or there’s a problem in the US itself. Only then will gold become the number one safe-haven asset. Right now, if we want to understand the real intentions of big capital, the rise and fall of gold or the stock market cannot truly reflect their thoughts. You have to look at the US Dollar Index and the VIX Index.
