No, they haven’t.  China resumed buying this year.  You were already informed of this in another thread.   Why have you conveniently forgotten?

 

Oh dear.  You should really do your homework.

 

 

First of all, Gold tends to compensate for Dollar weakness mid-longer term.

 

But I am glad you posted above charts. It shows, that the recent bull run of Gold was not as beneficial for "non Dollar currency holders".
(Price of US$/Gold not showing).
 

Bankers, outside of the US are trying to explain to their customer why Gold has "only" appreciated by 10% recently.

 
They are also trying to explain to their customes that their US High-Tech shares have declined 10% plus 10% currency loss.

Non US investors have to take into account that precious metals, oil and US shares/threasuries are traded in US Dollars.

 

In other words, if you buy anything denominated in US Dollars, you buy the US Dollar simultainiously.

That's all I want to say concerning the international investment community. No more, no less.

Your argument, if it is an argument, seems a bit silly. 

 

Demand drives the value of gold.

 

Sure, if the dollar moves, it affects cost in currencies not pegged to the dollar, but it does not affect the value, because unlike currency, gold has intrinsic value.
