Real Effective Exchange Rates: CPI Based for United States (LHS)Gold Price USD/Oz (RHS)
Source :Bloombrg. Data as on 30
th
April 2024.
When the dollar fails, the gold standard prevails.
REER, or Real Effective Exchange Rate, gauges a currency's worth by considering not just nominal exchange rates but also adjusting for price level i.e.
inflation differences with trading partners, offering a broader view of its value. Gold, having crossed all it's previous lifetime highs, has entered a bull
market. Historically, there has been an inverse correlation between US Dollar and Gold. A weakening US Dollar could act as anadditional catalyst for
the upward trajectory of gold, which is already on the rise. With anticipated rate cuts and an overvaluation of the US Dollar, the environment remains
quite conducive for such weakness.

US 10 Year Real Rate: US 10 Year Yield – 12 Month Rolling Average of US PCE Core Inflation
The Road Not Taken
For the better part of the two decades considered, the two vectors have exhibited a decent negative correlation. In a normal scenario,
when real yields rise, bonds become more competitive with gold as they offer a return that keeps pace with inflation.
However, in the current scenario, there is an aberration, though not too extreme, where the yellow metal witnessed an upward trend,
despite rising real yields, but such an aberration only seems to be short-lived, where real yields might converge to their long-term
averagereinforcing the gold bull market.
