Commodity and currency are inversely proportional to each other in
theory. For the discussion, we treat gold and oil as commodities and
USD as the currency. Commodities are fixed in supply to some extent but
currency supply can be politically manipulated.
Today most countries
want to depreciate their currencies by printing money excessively. When
we have excessive money supply (as more money chasing the same commodity
in fixed supply), we should have hyper inflation, but it does not
happen for many reasons.
Most text books on this subject have to be rewritten and the
college graduates can ask for refund from the colleges. :)
