Balance Oil and Gold to Navigate Economic Turbulence

Historical data indicates that when US oil consumption as a percentage of GDP reaches 3%, the economy tends to enter stagflation or recession. With oil prices hovering over $100 per barrel recently, it highlights the difficulty of utilizing oil inflation as a solution to economic issues. Instead, gold serves as an effective neutral asset for settlement, evidenced by rising gold to oil ratios from 8 barrels per ounce in 2008 to over 36 barrels per ounce now, especially after significant political actions affecting oil reserves. Projected to reach 50 and potentially 100 barrels per ounce, this ratio's rise suggests oil will remain stable between $70 and $90 per barrel due to political constraints. This stability benefits both gold and gold mining profitability, making a strong case for investment in gold amidst fluctuating oil dynamics.
