What is the relation between Oil prices, Gold, Stock Markets and Dollar prices?

Dr. Vidya Hattangadi

Abstract :

 

The relationship among the above listed factors depend on the health of an economy. If a is dependent on a mineral like oil or gold for most of its income tends to benefit from high prices of such minerals, but the consumers of such minerals get affected unfavorably, the economy is said to be vulnerable. For a consumer of oil, high oil prices have a negative impact on the economy as it pushes up the cost of various factors of production, raises prices and also makes the country less competitive in the global market. Higher factor prices also impact profitability of industries negatively as companies are not always able to pass on the higher costs to the consumers completely. Lower profitability in turn has an impact on share prices of such companies assuming they are listed. Gold is usually seen as a hedge against poor economic performance and its prices tend to move negatively in relation to share prices, although this relationship may not hold true at all times.
