Make me a chart showing US dollar inflation vs the price of gold.
I don't have the ability to create real-time charts directly in this text-based format. However, I can guide you on how to create a chart comparing US dollar inflation to the price of gold using external tools like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or data visualization software.
Here are the general steps you can follow to create this comparison chart:
1. **Data Collection**: Gather historical data on US dollar inflation rates and gold prices over the timeframe you are interested in analyzing. You can find this data from official sources like the US Bureau of Labor Statistics for inflation rates and financial databases for gold prices.
2. **Data Preparation**: Organize the data in a spreadsheet format with one column for the years, one for inflation rates, and one for gold prices.
3. **Chart Creation**: Use your preferred data visualization tool to create a line chart comparing the US dollar inflation rates (plotted as one line) and the price of gold (plotted as another line) over the selected timeframe. You can customize the chart to add labels, legends, and other elements for clarity.
4. **Analysis**: Interpret the chart to identify any trends, correlations, or patterns between US dollar inflation and the price of gold. Historical data can provide insights into how gold prices have responded to inflationary periods in the past.
