# US dollar breaking down, gold and the $A breaking up – what does it mean for investors? - Invest Blue

> The US dollar has peaked and is likely to decline over the next six to 12 months as safe-haven demand fades. Gold has broken out to a record high, and the Australian dollar has risen about 30% from its March low, now above US$0.70. The note links these moves to a weaker dollar and higher commodity prices.
