Weaker Dollar, Stronger Precious Metals Returns

The 37% drop in the dollar’s value against a basket of other currencies since 2001 coincides with an unprecedented demand for the assets of other economies, especially shares of companies in fast-growing places such as China and Latin America. Also, demand for gold and all precious metals increases.  A decade ago, U.S. stocks comprised 54% of the world’s stock market value; today they represent only a third. As investors shift out of the U.S. market, they exchange dollars for the currencies of countries where they’re doing their buying, reducing demand for the buck.
