Currently when I look at the Kitco site where it shows how much of the gain/loss on the prices of various commodities is due to +/- of the US$ or normal buying/selling I am seeing all the precious metals showing losing value due to the STRENGTENING OF THE US$. However when I look at the base metals I see that the column reads due to the WEAKENING OF THE US$.

What gives? Is the US$ going up or down? Surely it can't go in both directions at once?

All of the base and precious metals are priced in US$ and there is only one US$. So how can it go in both directions based on which commodity you are looking at?

Is Kitco trying to fool us again by blowing up some snow job explanation for what is going on?
