Gold and the dollar: Why they move together and apart
Gold and the U.S. dollar often move inversely, but not always. Inflation, real yields, and geopolitical stress shape the relationship, creating moments when both act as safe havens and influence global portfolio strategies.

Sequencing risk can erode retirement wealth when early portfolio losses coincide with withdrawals. Timing matters — flexible strategies, cash buffers, and diversified income sources help preserve capital and ensure assets last throughout retirement years.
Trading the US30: What moves the Dow and how it links to currency markets
