> USD/Gold is pretty stable

Umm, I'm not sure I can agree with that[0]

To be fair, it was fairly stable until about 2006. However the whole point of "being stable" is also to be stable in times of external stress. USD/Gold fails that one quite spectacularly.

That's significantly less volatile than Yen/USD. Stability in currencies is pretty relative.
