The inverse correlation
Gold can be used for speculation but is preferred as a safe haven. Crude, on the other hand, can be used as a store of value but is preferred as a speculative play.
This combination makes these two assets work great together as mutual hedges. Gold helps offset the risk of higher uncertainty, while oil can take advantage of market moves.
Broadly speaking, you could say that gold and petroleum are inversely correlated. There are a couple of major caveats to add to that notion. The first is that more nuance allows for more sophisticated trading. The second is that there is more to oil prices than just the market.
