With the US economy booming, it’s morning in America again

People buy gold mostly to help store value that's what its been used for thousands of years. In 2007 when the stock markets crashed it was gold which doubled in value in a short period of time as people started investing in it heavily, during recession its the same and it can help gauge market sentiment when there are recession jitters. That is the point I am making I am not sure what point your making.

My point is gold is an investment, not a trade value like currency, it does not reflect anything on economic performance for any country in the world.

There exist the possibility and event that both Gold and a Currency is strong, that's the example I gave.
