The Illusion of Fiat

While the talking heads sell the strength in the U.S. dollar via the U.S. dollar index as a destination for safe haven capital flows, they ignore the reality that it's value represents relative and unbalanced comparison against only fiat money. The world's premier currency - gold is completely ignored. Any comparison to gold would break the illusion so easily sold to the public.
